  Needed a night or two of air to smooth out. Will wait another year or three for the next bottle.

  Old school philosophy. Stands out for its acidity. Tannins are still pretty grainy and pronounced for a 9 year-old. Lots of mint and eucalyptus. Bright red fruit. Lacks a little bit of depth on the finish.

  Decanted. Deep opaque ruby-purple color lightening to ruby at the edges, bright. Aromas of plum and black currant, worn cedar, clove & allspice, pipe tobacco, leather, black tea. Deep black fruits and layered seamless secondary spices on the attack, nicely expressive and elegant. Expansive middle depth with acids nicely offsetting its richness, and roundly structured with plush full tannins. Closes with full depth and length, highlighting its black current and secondary clove and tea notes. The structure has settled in very nicely - it's in a great place. Early secondary/primary. Plenty of time ahead. Drink/hold.

  Deep dark garnet color. Aromatics of black cherry & currant, pressed flowers, red licorice, cedar, mint and hints of clove. Deep and concentrated black & red fruit on the attack, with a dense and rich middle showing integrating depth of savory spices, wood and stony earth. Thick, plush tannins with enough acidity to add cut to the structure. Broad and expansive finish. Recommend several more years on this one.
