Consistent with earlier tasting notes albeit starting to show its age a bit, past its prime but still drinking very well. Dark garnet inky color, full bodied, concentrated thick chewy, almost coating the tongue - forward black and blue fruits, ripe black raspberry turns to a tone of spice, hint of cedar and kirsch with a slight metallic/mineral undertone - ends with a full, moderate soft chewy tannin finish.
As before but slightly burnt notes on the taste and caramelized oranges on the nose. Not a deal breaker, but does detract a little. Not sure about storage before purchase...

Vibrant acidity and still drinking beautifully. Lighter on its feet than the Moritz and Brookman 03s.

Over the hill and flabby. Which is sad because it was a good wine.

Drinking nicely. A bit of leather and jammy fruit; blackberry and liqueur tastes. Heavy, still. Hasn't lost it's power.
