  March 18, 2017 - Cherry and baking spices with some leather and tobacco upon opening. Enjoyed over about 90 min. Easy drinking, smooth on the palate. Acidity, fruit and tannins are blended nicely. Not as much "grip" as a few years ago, as the tannins are less pronounced. But the balance is spot-on, and this is drinking very nicely, indeed.

  June 18, 2014 - The wine looks crimson colored. The legs are slow. There is moderate sediment in the bottle. It smells like blackberry, stoniness and black pepper. It tastes like blackberry and red currant. The body is medium/full. The wine has leathery texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has low acidity. Drank a 2002 last summer which was superb. This one was very good, but not as "bold" as a year ago.
