Ripe black cherry and plum, still nicely fresh for its age, with black pepper, anise and olive tapenade. Good weight and balance, despite a slightly sweet start.

Still very fresh and vibrant, with plenty of black berry and plum throughout. Very nicely balanced and textured. Still has plenty of life left. Very enjoyable with burgers tonight.

This has aged beautifully! It shows minimal bricking, an integrated bouquet and taste profile, and pleasant richness. Acid is still lively. Unlikely to improve, and it is delicious now. 91-92.

Mature black cherry with black pepper, leather and earth. Still good, but previous bottles as recently as last year were better.

Still nicely fresh and robust black fruit with subtle spice and just enough sweetness. Richer start than middle or finish.
