  Classic, typical style Classico. Easy to drink, soft tannin. At its drinking cycle end. So enjoy it now if you’ve got it.

  Tart cherries and very gamey. Quite herbaceous as well. Still has strong tannins after 9 years. Really enjoy this a lot. For $20, I think it’s quite a steal.

  PnP: not much on the nose, maybe some chocolate. On the palette, grippy tannin, green vegetal notes give way to leather and tobacco. After decant the wine was soft, delicious, and smooth. Took a lot of time for the acid to tamp down. Good value for the money, but not an incredible wine.

  Same as all other notes, no development, just okay. Last one and I'm glad they are all gone.

  Further to my Note of June 28, '21: Decanted but hardly needed. This was another tasty bottle: mature fruit on the nose and palate, good mouthfeel. If it weren't for the evidence of bottle variation, I would bump this up to notable+.
