Last time we had this wine was 6 years ago. That was nice, this is a step up. Time has served it very well.
Dark ruby in the glass with just a few mm of bricking. Nose is more herb dried leaves driven showing just a bit of cherry. On the palate WOW different ballgame with black cherry, boysenberry, pine sap, and rose pedals before moving into tar and herbs. Lovely and soft up front with beautiful acids finish shows nice grippy tannins that add weight and don't distract.
Served with a hearty soup and it was fantastic. Finished bottle later in the night on its own. Both were enjoyable but liked the pairing with the soup a bit more.

Beautiful and vivid dark rose petal red color. Deep, rich nose of cinnamon-spiced ripe raspberries. This is an unbelieveably rich wine resplendent with slightly sour ripe red berry and pomegranate notes and strong acids and an overall structure built to last. Somehow, it still manages to have a refreshingly light body. Really good stuff.

Nothing wrong, but quite lackluster. Good structure but no fruit to be found. Perhaps too old.

Consistent with previous notes and drinks perfectly now. I would consume over the next few years if I had any left...
