Very enjoyable bottle. A little earthy with great herbals but good dark fruit. Acidity is balanced, mild tannin. Enjoyable now, I don't think it's getting better, but I don't think this bottle was over the hill either.

Medium body. Mildly perfumed nose of violets and raspberry. Raspberry, cinnamon and some cassis flavor. Still very tannic and a bit out of balance. Would wait another 2-3 years.

Over the hill. Fruit is old, it's astringent, not much joy. dumped it. Too bad, my fault for waiting too long.

Mostly secondary notes at this stage, fruit is there but has become faint and simplistic. Not a complex bottle, but enjoyable. In decline, drink now

Strong aroma of soil and earth. Rich minerals. Little fruitiness of raspberry strawberry.
