Decanted for two hours with considerable sediment, lovely floral nose, loads of cranberry, red plum, sour cherry, some herbal notes, medium tart finish. This was my last bottle of six, last tasted in 2014 and the best of the lot. Certainly ready to drink but based on this particular bottle, should drink well for a few more years. Extra note, personally cellared since 2008!

Nose of tobacco, thyme and wet leather. Very integrated and ready to drink flavors of saddle, cranberry, pepper, a little heat. Fully ready, probably fully ready and looking to slide.

This was better on day 3 and 4. Better decant for several hours if going to drink soon.

A bit sour without much flash or dash. Some cherry, not much depth. I’d say drink in 2020.

Modern but stopped short of Shiraz, with bright fruit and little earth, tar, saddle and, thankfully, no funk. I'd drink now and 2-3 years ongoing.
