From a half bottle: Sous bois, cherry, raspberry, gravel; mature but very dignified on nose Extremely elegant, and while certainly manifesting a thinning, fading, and aging, there is remarkable presence, poise, life, substance, penetration, depth, and grace; pure and expansive; truly lovely

Cassis, black currant, leather, hints of licorice; beautiful fruitful expressive nose; rich, hedonistic, succulent, elegant but with some grip; long, fruitful and forward but without being excessive After a Half Hour: Constantly changing from forward to reticent, elusive; with time continues to fade and becomes more muted

Blackberry, black currant, leather; graceful and mellowed, fruit mostly faded; not particularly lively but enjoyable with some refinement of age
