Still drinking well. No browning seen. Dark color and smells of some cassis and tobacco. Tannins resolved good fruit still present. Can go few more years i believe

Plum and liqueur with dark chocolate, freshly roasted coffee aromas with some background brown spice with tobacco hints. Similar on palate with some emerging earth, then slightly hollow in middle. Structure, fruit and spice combine for nice finish. Good for the next few years.

Deep ruby color. Nose of sweet cassis, smoky spice, and some heat. Full bodied on the palate, good presence through the middle but fades a bit on the finish.

A bit tight but opened with quick decant. Dark fruits - cassis, blackberry mixed with cedar box, menthol and vanilla. Nice mouth feel with soft integrated tannins. Good acidity with etoh in check. Bitter end note but pretty enjoyable.
