Rating stays the same. This wine has not changed over last several years in cellar. It’s simply amazing but it needs air. Lots of room for further improvement. I will check back in another 3-5 years.

This wine is so big yet so refined. It is dark, inky purple. The nose of cherry and flowers has smoke lurking in the background. You could spend the evening smelling this wine—just an amazing perfumed nose. The body is velvety and thick, but with a great lift of acidity offsetting the massive layers of plums, cherries, and currants. There is a long elegant finish with wonderfully supple tannins. It is drinking great right now and will certainly continue to improve for a decade and be great for another 30 years.

Elegant and powerful wine, still lots of fruit notes from the primary side, but this currently gaining more complexity through age. Palate is fine and with a perfectly integrated acidity. I'd wait for 4+ more years in the cellar.
