Decanted 45 minutes prior to tasting. Deep dark red in color, developing slight aging color on the edges. Appears tight on the nose. I expect this may take a couple of hours to open up. On the palette, tight tannins, dark fruit with a hint of bitterness at the end. Not showing its best, but in a couple of ours I expect a bouquet of flowers on the nose. This has years of cellaring available to it before needing to consume more.

On the nose, black current, raspberry, vanilla white pepper and plums. On the palette confirming the black current , vanilla and plum. There’s a little sour note that may work itself out with more air. Quite delicious.

Decanted for 30 minutes before tasting. Very little sediment. Deep purple hue with red tint. Deep ruby color and lots of legs! On the nose there is delicious raspberry and blackberry notes with a hint of mint tea and vanilla. The aromas are beautiful.
On the palate there is mouth watering acidity, those black fruits, red berry and delicious mouth feel, with medium tannins along with a little heat you pickup at the back of the throat. There is a subtle cranberry and sour cherry end that carries through to provide what appears to me to be a pretty well balanced wine. So pleased I have eleven more in the cellar.
