Similar notes to previous, popped and poured with dinner. The fruit now shines through as the oak has faded to the background. This is silky on the palate with a medium long finish.

Black currant nose - almost raisiny; a whiff of smoke. Still a bit tight, but nicely balanced with fine acidity and a sweet, ripe, black fruit core of blackberries, currants, black cherries, black plum, and cassis, Secondary notes of tar, graphite, and black tea. A touch of rosemary laces the coffee finish. Good length.

No reason to keep these any longer. Not unpleasant and no rough edges but no outstanding characteristics to speak of.

More mature than my last bottle 2 years ago, but probably not any better. A little uneven, but enjoyable. Tobacco, smoke, anise. A touch boozy.
