Briefly decanted, strong bouquet. High toned with prominent cherry elements, this took a long time to open up. Once it did open up, the fruit thickened with each glass. Still some gritty tannins. Almost to the point that I should've stood up the wine for a few hours and let it settle. This wine has a lot of life left. Recommend checking back in 2-3 years, but this may not hit its stride for a long time.

This is one is definitely age worthy. The wine is very tight and needs a lot of time to evolve. It didn't start to show until three days of decanting and that's a little too long for me. Everyone raves about this wine and they tell me that it's needs aging time.

Still a bit tanic powered. Starting to mellow and very powerful. Leather tobacco cassis. I think it has another 10 years easy.
