Beauty! Tamarind on the nose. Dark color, nearly opaque, belies its age. Plenty of fruit with balancing acidity on the palate. Substantial wine. Still youthful, could develop over next 5 years and hold for at least another 5 beyond. Exceptional wine!

I agree with all prior comments, which are right on. Just PnP so far, and a bit oaky on first impression, but suspect that will blow off, and it will open up.
An hour later and this is much improved. Rich, full-bodied and juicy. Lovely stuff.

Deep color at 17 years old. Blackberries and licorice in the nose with hints of chocolate, floral and minerals. Flavor very much like the nose with concentrated black fruits. Well balanced and a smooth long lingering finish.

This is stunning. I agree with most on this. Iron, raw meat, black olive but with a savory, mouth watering quality that is just hard to resist going back to again and again. There is no way this is past its prime. What a great wine. So glad I have one left. A dead ringer for N. Rhone. Bought on release direct and perfectly cellared.

Not muchthere first night. Left 1/3 of the bottle for tonight. ALot more white pepper showed up and the wine acted like it was at the end of being a bigger brawny wine. Not sure where some of this was yesterday, but it was a better vibrant wine today.
