Excellent, one of those wines I wish I had half a case to follow. Dark nose of currant, menthol, tar and a feral element. Good complexity. Medium bodied, the black fruit emerges with air. Herbs and menthol on the finish, firm tannins. Early maturity I'd wager, good now, different later, though may not be better.

Lovely claret, great value, last bottle of a case. Fruit is front and center against a firm frame and thick tannins. Not sure it can improve any more - but why wait? It's delicious now. Technical score: 90. Enjoyment score: 92.

Pretty disjointed, a nice flavor here or there, and a bit green in places. Came together better, according to the Mrs. on night three. Hold.
