  PNP - black in the glass. Fully mature (great on night 2 so this should continue to age gracefully). On nose, cassis, black currants, blackberry and tobacco with touch of menthol/mint. Palate was similar (ex. tobacco and + green bell pepper with air-time) with full body, medium acidity, integrated tannins and very long finish. 92-93+

  Deep ruby in glass. Pronounced intensity on the nose. Blackberry, blueberry, cigar box, cedar and pencil lead. Intense mouthfeel yet still maintains a semblance of underrated elegance. Medium plus acidity and partially resolved tannins. Can drink now but can go the distance.

  Deep opaque colour. Powerful cabernet bouquet. Just about ready. Smooth
  well balanced. Black fruit, coffee, dark chocolate. Seems to have years in hand but an area I hardly know.

  Decanted wine. Young purple color. A bit more fruity than expected. Reds more time in bottle.

  PnP and showed nicely. The most restrained (fruit wise) wine of the night but also the most integrated. Black fruited with leather, dirt and mineral notes. Should have saved for food, I think it would have done even better.
