  • Not at all acting like a 26 year old wine. No bricking at the edge. A little tight upon opening, benefitted form a 1 hour decant. Huge aromas of black fruit, cassis, spice, lots of tobacco and some oak. Ripe and rich body loaded with tobacco, black fruit, spice, cassis. Smooth. Still has plenty of tannins in a medium finish. Showing really well, may be still improving.

  • Decanted an hour. Wonderful. It has a lot of life left! Dark, rich, smooth tannins and lingering flavor. Very enjoyable! Very special.

  • Cellared since release, perfect cork and fill. Identical to last bottle a few months ago. Dark red to rim. Tobacco, spice, dark fruits on the nose. Ripe, rich, lush fruit, full-bodied, a little low acid but not flabby, still plenty of tannin, significant oak, medium-long finish. Big powerful wine, seems to be in suspended animation. Don't expect complexity but a fun drink. Excellent but avoid if oak-averse.

  • Dark red color, black fruit and tobacco nose, really dense black fruit, spice, tobacco, plenty of tannin and acid, seems a bit out of balance. An intense wine with many years left to drink but I don't know if it will ever get in balance.
