  Dark fruited with black olive and a little sweet fig on the nose.
  
  Complex and vibrant, with the above in more even balance on the palate, but with red fruits/florality emerging. Instantly appealing and interesting. Still some pretty solid tannins in the background, maybe needing another decade to soften, but there's plenty depth there to stop it feeling closed. Acidity decently supporting, but not poking out at all.
  
  Drinkable (and enjoyable) now for sure, but be prepared for the tannins. Personally, I'd like to check back in on this in 8-10 years time.

  Great wine. Earthy nose to begin with for 30 minutes. then it opened with still red fruit but also tartar, vanille, tobacco. Full bodied with good balance - and lots of tannins. very dry. Long beautiful aftertaste.

  Colour looks ready. Some solids, decanted. This is very pleasing, and ready. Previous taster's notes good.

  My 6th, group's 4th of 6 in 2010 B & B tasting with 3.5 hr decant. This was the one wine with a very healthy earth and leather nose and palate, even after 5 hr after opening. Some people love this addition from the barrel, and some not so much. Generally, I like it, and this bottle was no exception. The detraction for me was the underlying fruit was not as lively and attractive as the other wines in the tasting.
