Thought it might be on way down given windows but was pleasantly surprised. Color still dark with little to no browning. Black cherries predominate with notes of earth and tobacco. Enough acid left to show that there’s still more life. Very enjoyable

Lovely rich nose of tobacco, leather, spice and dark fruit, bit brooding, more of the same on the palate with hints of very soft tannins,almost elegant, medium/long fiish, at its peak but will hold for seven to ten years, tasted four times in 2012, similar results.

Black cherry, anise, a little bit of an earthy quality. Medium length finish.

Wow - this has improved significantly in the last two years. Delicious. Black currant, black cherry, earth and a medium+ finish.

Still fresh. Anise, blackberry, good acidity and tannins. Nice.
