  Nice spell of sweet-edged Black fruit and savory flavors. The tannins have resolved and are well integrated into the overall mix. This one has several good years of drinking ahead of it, but it is in a good place right now for near-term consumption.

  It’s braking up - this wine seems to continue it’s downward spiral. The plums keep turning into prunes and dried fruits. The palate is the worst though. Drying dark berries and dusty chocolate- even a little harsh. Think this wine was just too extracted and couldn’t handle it. the alcohol is seriously showing up - drink up. This was my 5th bottle out of 6.

  The wine was decanted for two hours prior to tasting.
  
  Deep, deep magenta color.
  Integrated dark fruit, with plenty of grippy tannins still present. An incredibly long finish, despite the advanced age of this wine. This one has many many many years of life ahead. It’s delicious now, and continued to develop and improve. I give it at least another 10-15 years of remaining life.

  I am not 100% sure this was flawed, 1st taste of this, or if a very strong licorice, coffee, and tobacco note on the nose was tricking me into sensing some madeirization. If this was as good as this wine gets I can't complain but if there was a bit of heat damage an undamaged bottle would be fabulous. 91

  Lost some of the energy of youth as expected. A little hot. Some Good dark fruit, lacks precision or depth.
