Gorgeous. Great structure accompanied by an intense blackberry and menthol fruit. There are cedar and leather notes here but still relatively muted, such is the youth of the wine. Long and complex. Drinking perfectly now and will last forever.
More evolved than I was expecting. Amber rim. Structure soft and almost undetectable. There is a pleasant taste of leather and dried rose petals, with menthol behind. Quite long and complex. Would advise drinking now, can't see this lasting longer than another 5 years.
From magnum. Classic Bordeaux in the nose with graphite, pencil shavings, tobacco, leather, with black and red fruit. Med weight, med acid, med tannin. This wine is fantastic and quite bright structured. Slightly astringent with the acid/tannin but there is enough fruit to balance it off. Still plenty of life left but in a nice spot. Enjoy now and over the next 10 years.

Bloody, with lovely stinky hint like blue cheese. Plump red cherry with a lifting nail varnish. So fresh. Cinammon. Cedar, vanilla. High fine tannins. Med+ acidity. Long and complex. Outstanding.
