Tuesday, January 13, 2009 - very dark red;complex nose of cedar,herbs, chocolate, cassis evolving over 3 hrs, never faded; still tightly wound but starting to show some polish of age, long way to go; great balance long finish but subtle- you have to look for it.
Definite VA in the nose, very lite and not unattractive but could be off putting for those sensitive to vinegar.......
