Somewhat muted immediately after opening, this wine comes to life in the course of 15 minutes in the glass. Coffee, smoke, meat, cherries, cocoa, plums, and hints of cola and flowers, with a subtle wisp of leather. Very long aftertaste ending with a touch of not unpleasant bitterness. A sense of quiet confidence. No hurry--this will remain impressive for at least another six years, probably longer. (Previously tasted 3/31/2020)

Ripe dark fruit and slight vanilla in the nose. Rich mouth. Mature tannins in the finish. Done in a ripe international style, but reasonably well balanced.

Black berry fruits in the bouquet and on the palate. Laurel licorice, ok bitterness and acidity. The tannin is powerful enough for a few more years. Firm and good wine. Not made on refinement.

succulent fruit, fine acidity, opened in 20 minutes, long finish, spicier with time.
