The only thing evolved about this wine is the color, a touch of orange tint to the garnet. Classy, beefy and Vosne spice-driven aromas and palate. A tad coarse and unsettled still. Guts, strong spined with firm acidity and some unresolved tannin. Note to self: don't try another for at least five years. Next day: much more relaxed and stylish; attractive spice box notes still, soft and balanced. Kick it up another point or two.

Nice ruby red with some nice fruit but don't think it's going to last much longer. Cork was solid under good long ter storage with little to no sediment. One left and will probably drink soon to enjoy while it's still holding up. Would probably drink sooner rather than later. Went nicely with grilled Halibut and veggies.

Moldy, with hints of dirty diaper. Never evolving. Tainted, corked...damnit.
