  Ruby core with orange rim. Certainly seeing some developments here - mushroom, soil, dried herbs, game. Plum, baked cherries, dark chocolate, cedar. Tannin is prominent but the fruit might begin to fade. Better with food. Drink now.

  Leather on the nose and similar to last notes, but oddly, didn't quite hit the heights of previous bottles. Whereas the others were in a great drinking window, this nodded to needing a few more years. Shame, as it was my last bottle.

  Strong vanilla on the nose, distinctive hints of leather as well. Cassis, cherries and mushrooms on the palate. Expresso notes much later on. Soft, integrated tannins. There is a lot going on here, but not in a uncoordinated, fruit mess. In a great drinking window now, and I wouldn't hold for much longer.
  I'm a huge fan of this wine. Note: it is not a second rate version of its big brother, but quite a different wine in terms of style and profile. But what value it offers! Beautiful!

  This is sumptuous! Somewhat closed nose but a very refined palate. Beautifully integrated, soft, velvety finish. In a great drinking window now. improved as the evening progressed, so perhaps decant for an hour next time. Drink up.

  Rounded and opulent cassis and cherry. Charcoal, lead, ink and orange pulp. Concentrated palate flavored by licorice, dark cherry and an early stage of leather.
