18c: no decant: black-purple, opaque: nose of coffee (touch of brett): aggressive tannins, heavy, but dull fruit: medicinal flavor dominant, likely a defective bottle. Disappointing

18c: no decant: brilliant, coppered ruby: plush nose of pinks, leather, tobacco, sage: bright attack, piercing tannins and luscious fruit balanced with a long finish: schist, bright red fruit, candy apple, red licorice: 18.

18c: no decant: inky, black-purple: fragrant nose of roses, pepper, licorice, pine: lovely balance, with fat, but vigorous tannins penetrating solid black fruit and lingering long on the tongue: schist, blackberries, black licorice, black pepper, chocolate: much going on here, a treat: 18 (holding up well even the days later)
