Wednesday, January 21, 2015 - This is the lowest I've rated this wine in the last 5 years, something I attribute more to this individual bottle than where the wine is right now. Bold nose of dark fruits and berries, light tar, cedar, white pepper, graphite, and rosemary. Tannins have settled down considerably and are now well integrated. However, the palate, while very good, was not up to the standards that this wine has set for me in the past, and thus will need to give it another try soon. This bottle had a noticeably softer cork than others from my cellar which may have been a factor in its performance. Decanted for 30 minutes and then consumed over 1.5 hours.
