I found this wine to be at its peak, and this bottle drink perfectly balanced. Tannins seems fully integrated, acid balance perfect. I enjoyed this bottle.

Very closed at first, deserved at least 3 hour decant time. Opened through the evening revealing plenty of wound tannin, and borderline high acidity - oak started to show later as the other components calmed down. I liked this wine, and will purchase a few more, but note to self, don't touch until 2020.

End of an era. Beautiful dark, rich fruit. Lovely, and opens nicely with a little time and some dark chocolate.

Cassis, spices, warmth. Perfect almost-solstice libation. Very smooth, a hint of its alcohol.
