  Opened and let sit for a few hours. The nose was red and black fruit. The palate was blackberry, dark cherry, cassis, tobacco and a hint of spice. The finish was long and smooth. A really nice wine just not as sharp as the bottle I had a year and a half ago.

  Ready to drink.
  Excelent! A great wine.
  The style has changed for the newer vintages, making them easier to drink young, but this one still shows how good this wine can be if you wait for it.

  The onset was fairly hard. A still very present tannic structure that gradually became smoother the longer the bottle was open. As the tannins became smoother, the aromas also opened up. All black fruit such as cassis, blackberry, black plum. Even a little jammy. Dark chocolate, vanilla, cinnamon.
  The malbec dominance in this Bordeaux blend was definitely recognisable at the beginning with the tannic structure. Full body, long finish.
  Wine definitely still has aging potential. And I think with time my 92 points could become even more.

  Fruit and alcohol are a bit pronounced on the nose and top of palate. The follow through is very harmonious and smooth. Very enjoyable.
