More than 6 years since my previous bottle of this, but this is still doing very well, evolving slowly. The fruit is definitely more faded but still present. The truffle and savoury notes are a bit more in front. It needed a bit of air to really come into its own, too.

Singing on day1 after an hour open. No detailed notes for tonight. Cran and herbal with a touch of white pepper. Medium plus acid. Medium tannin. Fans out on the mid palate and the finish is 60 seconds+. If you have some, open one and judge your own drinking window. If you have only one, open it now and enjoy or hold for up to 3 years.

Brown-tinted dark red. Spicy cranberry nose. Medium to full bodied, fully integrated flavors of cherries, menthol, cedar, and spices. Nice long finish. This is in an excellent place right now.

Very savoury and herbaceous. Truffle and Romano cheese indeed. Bright red fruit underneath it all. Just a fantastic wine, again showing Clark's mastery of this grape.
