  Still alive, and very tasty. Hint of gamey-ness, and definite minty note. Tannins fully resolved but by no means fallen apart. I'd guess this doesn't have too many years ahead, but certainly enjoyable now.

  Decanted for an hour before trying. Didn't take notes, but I was very impressed with this powerful yet elegant wine. It had a beautiful nose and a balanced, complex, concentrated palate including blackfruits and cedar. Showing very well indeed now, but still seemed somewhat youthful, so there's no rush. This was very impressive, a classy, world class wine (A).

  Absolutely beautiful, this wine drinking very well. Likely at its peak.

  Bit of mustiness upon opening had me a touch worried, but blew away and the wine cleaned up nicely. Not a lot of complexity after 2-3 hours of decanting, but nothing bad about it either. Just a little uninspiring given expectations perhaps.
