Hs settled down a lot in the past 1.5 years. Similar to a pretty good CdP just entering maturity. Good fruit, somewhat sauvage, soft tannins, good balance.

Deep ruby to purple. Nose of briary fruits, smoke, herbs. Palate of blackberry, garrique, tar, tobacco. Nice tannins. Starting to get some secondary fruit characteristics. Great wine.

Very dark, very extracted, very tasty. Almost chewy. I liked the flavors a lot, though a bit too much at this stage. Paired with Peking duck, and not a great match, though it might be in 4 years.

Quick taste at Gordons but lovely dark fruits and some licorice with a nice tannic backbone. I'll drink one soon and save the other to see how it matures.

Very good intensity. Certainly better than an average CdP. Good match for traditional Jewish brisket. Drink now or in a few.

Very nice with lots of fruit and spicy notes. Had it to confit de canard, which was very good. Can recommend the wine.
