  Reliably very good in most years, at a good place now, likely can go another 2-4 if well cared for, but unsure it will reward much more patience, as I don’t get the sense it’s got what it would need to evolve onto those secondary notes that make waiting something we learn to do.

  Inky ruby. Aromatics of black(est)berry,, sweet tobacco, leather, cocoa cappuccino. Full bodied, round, still with some smooth tannin at 11 years out, zillion-layered finish.

  Solid wine. Aromatics of darker fruits and tobacco. Tannins have subsided but hint of earthiness and texture and tannin structure from when it was born still exists. Drinking superbly now.
