  Still deep red/purple color. Blackberries, black currants, leather, coffee, and some chocolate and earthiness in the nose. Black currants, blueberries, blackberries and some minerality in the flavor. Full bodied, nice acidity, complex, very well balanced and a long smooth finish.

  2.5 hours slow ox. Best bottle yet. Tannins still not fully resolved but pliable and smooth. Very ripe blackberries, black cherries and some raspberries. Touches of "Rutherford dust", dried herbs and sweet Oak. 30 second finish. This bottle would still be showing in top form 2 or 3 years from now.

  1.5 hours slow ox. Fill into neck. Overripe black fruits, some slightly tart red fruits, touch of green pepper with sweet Oak, and some cassis. 3/4 teaspoon of sediment. Tannins still have some backbone but are smooth. 20+ second finish.

  Absolutely stunning. Deep reddish purple, the wine explodes with graphite, pencil shavings, tobacco, coffee, and toasted wood. The wine is powerful but very graceful at the same time. Crushed dark berries, chocolate, pepper, and earthy herbs. Layered, structured and firmly tannic, the wine is long, rich and fresh. Great stuff!
