  2.5 hour decant. Classic Bordeaux nose. Earthy, with rich dark berries, tobacco. Very nice. Began to fade at the 4-5 hour mark. A nice wine.

  A bit tannic still. Some fruit and leather and oak but nothing special.

  Fully mature, the still, deep-colored wine is all about its rich, lush texture and layers of dark cherries, licorice, chocolate, and licorice. Drink 2022-2028.

  Really showing well now. Overripe, very smooth, the Malo treatment has really softened the wine but without flattening out its flavor profile too much. Long finish.

  Tried over 4 successive nights with a Vin-Vac to preserve it. Nights 1-2 very similar and best with small decline on night 3. By night 4 the wheels were clearly falling off. Score based upon nights 1-3. A still chunky tannin wine where the fruit never really shows was seems to be lurking underneath. Not sure what is going on but the Oak, tannins and underbrush dominate too much. I've got one bottle that I'll set aside for another year to see what happens, but although the price point is good I've not found a bottle that could come close to the RP rating.
