  Still purple rimmed, deep red. Juicy red fruits, some cherry on the attack. Reserved black cherry nose. Fine balance, tannins resolved and elegant acidity. Took a good for hours to open in the decanter. I think this has a few years yet.

  An animaly, primal nose, dark cherry, leather and pepper. On the palate, still so powerful; brambly fruit, velvety blackcurrant, more leather. I think this has plenty of time in it.

  Started out full of smoke, leather and meat, then dramatically closed up|fell off a cliff after about a half hour open. The last glass a couple hours later seemed like it might be waking up a bit - but by then the bottle had been shared around. Would have loved to keep a glass for another day. Judgement withheld for now.

  Lovely wine enjoyed over a friday-night fillet steak. Started off very well - powerful but interesting - however over the course of the bottle it started to pall - perhaps I am just too much of sissy for this type of strong wine.
