Lovely wine. Beautiful nose with berries, graphite and a hint of floral character. Rich mouthfeel with soft, but present tannin and a nice long finish. No hurry to drink the next bottle as I believe this wine will go strong for at least another 5-7 years. No need to wait, however, as this is showing beautifully now.

Nice nose with dark fruit, a hint of pepper/spice, and minerality. Took some time in glass to open up. Dark coloration. Good strong attack, with medium mouthfeel and a solid finish. Showed well now if a bit young. Look forward to tasting this again in 3-5.

Nice dried cherry in the nose, with a hint of tobacco. Good fruit, with nice acidity. Drank well with grilled salmon. Acidity balanced the fatty fish. Nice finish if not tremendously long.
