Rich blackcurrant — almost Ribena-like — and menthol, eucalyptus, mocha on the nose; immediately open and expressive; firm structure with well-developed tannins underneath a generous, ripe palate; long cassis finish.

From Magnum: dark red color with brownish edges. Marvelous ripe nose. The palate is dominated by velvet texture and dark berries, round and silky. Medium to long finish with ripe tannins. At the end of peak drinking window.

This wine seems to have significantly more body and character than it did when younger. It is deep, dark and delicious and seems to have gained nuance. Don't know if I've ever marked a wine so much higher as it aged.

Medium in color and body. The palate offers blackberry, iron, Asian spice, and sandalwood. The finish dances with minerality and flint.
