Consumed over two days, needs time to open up, best on day 2 (double decant). Big nose, plum, spice box, chocolate. High acidity, a bit grainy tannins, plum and some dark fruit, some tertiary notes with forest floor, good medium length without any gaps. Great, wish they still retailed for the 2008 price.

Good fill. Decanted 5 hours before first tasting, reintroduced to bottle at the end of the evening and tried the following day. Cassis, some forest floor, great length, high acidity, good structure with permissible tannins, very good, better day 2. Decant if consumed today, many years left alive.

Great cork and fill. Upon opening mainly some beginning tertiary notes with light forest floor, not too much fruit. Opens up with air and when tried on day 2 much more open and some cassis/plum. Medium length, still rather tannic. As of now needs decanting.
