  Consistent with the last note, still drinking well and does not feel like it’s in any hurry of declining.

  Better than the last one and needed a 4/5 hour decant. Mature with tannins that are fully integrated. Rich, a bit spicy, and enough of the brambly, rustic components that make it interesting.

  Disappointing and past it's prime

  This wine is just hitting its peak. Blackberries, ripe cherries, licorice, mint, cloves. Rich, lush, and mouthfilling, with some very gentle tannins still remaining. A very long and lovely aftertaste. After a while in the glass, there's a sudden intense burst of concentrated blackberry and chocolate midway in the aftertaste--wonderful fun! Should be in good shape for at least ten more years, and I wouldn't be surprised if it lasts longer, but, if this bottle is typical, there's no reason at all to wait--I can't imagine it getting better than it is right now: the best of both worlds--the vibrant immediate appeal of very young wine, with the grace of age.

  The oak here has integrated. Big wine with plenty of earth and graphite. Fruit is more blue/black than red with some sous bois as well. I liked this.
