Amazingly young - decanted for 1hr, drank over next 2hrs. Very nice fruit, and typical spice/herb characteristics. Would be great to see how its doing in another 10yrs.

Still very Primal, no indication that its hitting maturity any time soon. Big huge fruit, elegant tannin, and just the right amount of acidity make this very enjoyable, as a wine in primary stage.

In perfect shape, don't its at an ideal time to drink - no hard edges, has shed the majority of they heavy fruit and shows superb notes of tobacco, spices and currant. Acid and tannin completely in tune, right at that perfect stage between primary and secondary.
