Thursday, March 3, 2022 - Subsequent notes on this wine from 8 years ago. Deep, dark garnet in color with slight clearing at the edges. Full, fragrant & attractive nose of ripe fruit aromas of dark cherries, cassis & plums with overtones of earthy/dusty & mint notes, some floral notes, classic cedar & tobacco notes, herbs, anise, minerals, spices & vanilla/oak in the background. Full to medium-full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, ripe dark fruit flavors of cherries, blueberries & cassis with cocoa, herbs, minerals, spices, mint & vanilla/oak in the background. Long lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present at 27 years of age but doubt there would be any further development from additional aging although it should hold at this plateau for a few more years.
