Medium garnet red. Stinky on the nose with bell peppers, chalk and dried cherries. Medium tannins (5/10) and medium minus bodied. A little vegetal on the attack with some dark cherries and earthiness. Medium length finish. Drink now.

Medium to deep garnet red with bricking on the edges. A touch of TCA on the nose that needed some time to open, and a bit burnt. Medium tannins (6/10) and medium bodied. Palate is a bit toasty, earthy, savory and quite a bit of berries. Medium plus finish. Drink till 2018.

Light red fruits and cassis on the nose. Hint of tobacco still sits on the nose in a very nice way.
The tannins has softened substantially (6/10) and the body is moderate to light. The finish is also beginning to shorten and the acidity is beginning to take an upper hand. There is a little bitterness entering into the finish.

Color: Crimson red with a dark center and clear. Nose: Very vegetal with lots of bell peppers, and tobacco leaves. Slight cassis in the decanter. Palate: Moderate tannins (5.5/10) and low to moderate body. Slightly vegetal and savory on the palate. A little dry in the moderate finish but starts to thin out. Opinion: Very nice and easy drinking but nearing its end. Drink now.

I agree with my prior rating on the drink up now.
