  PnP and consumed over a 2-hour period. Felt well integrated around the 45-minute mark. 2 hours from opening thought the wine went flat. Red fruit, smooth tannins, tobacco, dark cherry, cassis, licorice, and chocolate. I think it’s past prime. Overall easy drinking yet structured; very enjoyable when it lasts.

  Very nice vintage. Probably at its prime or maybe even a bit over it.
  Deep color, full body. Lots of berries in the nose with a hint of tobacco.
  Taste of cheery and rasberries with a hint of vanilla. Medium tannins.

  Nose was drowned in overwhelming oak note and couldn’t sense anything else. After 2 hours, starts to show the other notes like red fruit and smoke but it’s too late. Nice acidity and intense fruits in palate it showed right after the opening became way too weak. Maybe too late to open this?
