Maroon coloured with some bricking on the rim. Nose of cedar, plum leather and earth. On the palate were some subdued fruit, liquorice and earthiness. Medium bodied, with still some vibrant acidity, with nicely integrated soft tannins. A balanced, complex wine. Nice length with a chalk like quality at the very end.

Mmm, this is definitely mature with a soft, loamy, forest floor aspect. Tobacco predominates and then delicate notes of cherry. While appealing, this is soft and a bit tired with more acid than fruit or secondary notes at this stage.

Was afraid to decant because we thought it was getting old, but it held up wonderfully. It opened up beautifully in the glass over the next hour. Moderate intensity, ruby color, nice balance.

Still going strong. Needs time in the glass to develop. Don't decant as it will peak and turn too quickly.
