Big bottle variation - this tastes nothing like the last. Still cedar and chocolate, but way more secondary flavors and age on the bottle - dusty, wet earth, bret nose - more tabacco powering through on the palate too. Great wine, great buy.

Quite a bit better than my last bottle two months ago (bottle variation?). This still showed the mature profile of leather and dried florals, but without the VA. The fruit, although light, was a bit more prominent. A nice lightweight claret that is very pleasing to drink right now.
