Sunday, November 23, 2014 - Deep, dark garnet in color with no signs of aging. Fragrant, attractive and complex nose of developed & mature, ripe dark fruit aromas of cherries, blackberries and plums with earthy overtones, forest floor, mint, lead pencil, classic cedar box & tobacco notes, some leather, dried herbs, minerals, some spices & toasted oak in the background. Medium-full bodied with a good concentration of balanced, developed & mature, silky smooth texture, ripe dark fruit flavors of cherries, blackberries & cassis with cedar, herbs, minerals, earthy, spices, mint and toasty oak in the background. Long lingering supple finish. Drinks quite well at present with decanting and airing. It should hold at this plateau for a few more years but I doubt there is any further development from additional aging.
