Wednesday, October 12, 2016 - Outstanding wine clearly showcasing why in some many instances I prefer 89 to 90 as a vintage. Decanted and aerated for 90 minutes than drank over an hour or so. Deep ruby red, some bricking at the rim, sweet nose of cassis, spicy black currants, old leather, cigar box and graphite fully reflected on the palate. Secondary aromas emerging with the wine approaching full maturity, glycerin like entry on the palate, precision and complexity characterize this beautiful full bodied wine, with perfect balance, structure and acidity. Finishes long with resolved tannins. Delicious.
