  Not my style whatsoever. It is very bombastic. A lot of concentrated cassis, jammy blackberry, with vanilla, dark chocolate, and a touch of coffee bean. Does have a lot of backbone still though, and it can easily hold for another 5 years if this is your style.

  No detailed notes. A very nice bottle with big fruit and classy oak. Finish has a somewhat jammy feel to it that I don't appreciate. Hope my other bottle is in better shape. drink after 2022 - perhaps elements are still integrating...

  Very classy wine. Smooth elegant (more so than expected) but still with a wonderful richness and depth. Mulberries and red/blue currants. Mocha and slightly sweetened herbs. In beautiful shape and years ahead of it. Perhaps a little more fruit driven and one dimensional than great Bordeaux but a well above average wine.

  Smells fresh and mint and great. Palate is solid too. Big fruit, not evolved but delicious.
