One the nose, perfumed red berries. Dark red appearance, garnet at the rim. On the palate, after half and hour it was red berries, blackcurrant, leather and a little spice but perhaps a little disjointed. After being open for a couple of hours the spice subsided, it become more integrated, smooth and balanced and a cool minty note appeared on the finish.

Weekly tasting group RWP #319; 4 random flights of 3 wines (@ BS): Sweet spices, some mint, ripe red berries and vanilla in the bouquet. On the palate red berries and cherries, herbs, bell pepper, good acidity and sticky tannin. Overall an elegant, well structured wine with still a future of at least 3+ years. 88+ for tonight.

Had at The Grill NYC. Nice. A little thin so I think this is slightly past it’s prime. Still good though. Lots of secondary flavours, leather for sure. Earthy scent, lots of grass and dust. Quite a bit of sediment so make sure to leave a little more room than you generally would. Drink up and enjoy. 87

Really quite nice (had a .375 bottle). Smooth, went wonderfully with the filet mignon I had. Would recommend it.

Like the last bottle. As good as it will get. Will start to decline. Drink up.
