Aromatics of red cherry pie, cherry craisins and decaying mushrooms. A bit on the flabby side, softest tannins and juicy sweet red fruit have only the slightest acidity to offset. Has gained sweetness and softness in maturity. Very clean, just a bit unexciting.

Porty, over the top and too extracted with cherry-like fruit and a smoky layer but nothing else really. Palate still more or less intact, but not much fun.

Rich, deep, black cheery fruit with earthy savoriness, a light dusting of tannins remain and gorgeously long finish. Very much looking forward to hitting the cellar for the 2013 (must be patient ;-).

Solid tannin, some cherry- very solid.
