Allowed to breathe in glass 1 hour. Clear dark garnet-blood red color. Classic bouquet of cherries, leather, sandalwood, cardamom, cloves, espresso, stony red soil. Similar on the palate, full body, nice balance, mouthwatering acidity, chalky civilized tannins. Improved with air, held up fine under vacuum stopper in refrigerator for four days.

This wine was drinking really well. Everything was there, all be it a notch below some of the great BdMs. Started off slow, brick hue and an unusually high water table. Over the course of an hour it began to sign with glove leather, cigar box and noticeable bright bing cherry. Not too acidic, mature tannin, secondary fruit - all balanced. Very nice.

Vino ancora molto potente e con tannino ancora vivo.... sarebbe stato perfetto ossigenato almeno 4 ore. Ingresso ottimo sentori di more cardamomo.

Still holding up. Color showed almost no bricking. Tannins are soft and well integrated with mature fruit.

This is still holding up well. Certainly no point to hold if still in your cellar.
