This was the last of the three bottles i had and was slightly better than the others. After a 30 minute decant there was lots of cassis on the nose with some minty greeness and a little oak. Very nice profile of red/black fruits with good intensity. Nice acidity makes this seem like a much younger wine in the mouth. Medium bodied and quite elegant. Not much complexity but some secondary notes of leather and cedar showing. Finish is 30+ seconds with some friendly tannins showing unlike the previous bottles where the tannins were fully resolved. Excellent wine. Would buy more given the opporunity.

Popped and poured. Consistent with previous note. Very good wine which is drinking very well right now. Well balanced with a nice fruit profile and a touch of oak. Medium bodied with a nice finish.

An old bottle that was hanging on nicely. Low tannins, no obvious alchol and a pretty nose. Drank nicely and evolved in the decanter.

Nice, mint leather and cedar up front. Not much fruit left, vegetal notes on the mid palate, oak and tannin in the finish.

Very nice. This wine is aging nicely. Plenty of tannins to go further even though it is put together very well right now.
