Interesting--though some thought this near death awhile back, including me in 2015--this bottle was very good. Classic Paulliac black cherry, tobacco and graphite--good tannins and heft. Could have used a long decant or more time in the cellar. Will update the drink-by date to 2021.

When to drink? Last year. Showed well initially but ran out of gas during the second glass.

Not a barn burner, but showing well for a premium winery 2nd. Would not plan on holding these much longer, though.

No surprise--decent with a steak but lacks excitement or contemplation-worthy complexity. Just okay.

Unappealing green and capsicum characters on opening dissipate slowly with air. Drinkable but dead average.
