Drinking beautifully. Still young and fresh. Had it with a Flannery hanger and it was fantastic (both the wine and the steak). A little tobacco and dark red fruit and currant. Still a fair amount of tannin on the back palate. My last bottle. I'll have to get more at auction. A great bargain for what I paid for it. This was one of the birth wines I bought for my third son. Had it in honor of his first high school soccer game that I was able to see tonight.

Big and dark, tobacco on the finish. Better showing with this bottle than the last. Tannins are fully resolved, but fruit is still going strong.

Big and plummy, not particularly complex, tannins fully resolved. Drink up.

Nice but a little lacking. Still very tannic yet does express some character. Better the second day.

Lots of cherry and dark tobacco on the nose. Could stay down for another couple of years. Still has some tannins and is a dark ruby color.
