Decanted off its sediment and enjoyed with supper. The bottle was completely caked with fine sediment and we lost about an ounce despite this having been standing for a few months. Deep color for its age, with aromas of plum, iron, tobacco, iodine and graphite. Medium-bodied and integrated. Flavors of plum, iodine and dark fruit with a rustic edge. Soft through the finish. 87 for me, 89 for Domino.

Decanted off its sediment and enjoyed with dinner about thirty minutes later. Notes of red fruit, iron, cedar and tobacco. Flavors of red fruit, iron and graphite. The finish is just a little shorter than I would like. 89 for me, 91 for Domino.

Deep dark ruby. Iron, tobacco. Rich, and surprisingly complex. Very enjoyable over three nights. Darn, our last.

Excellent choice with beef burgundy. Decanted for 1.5 hours. Nice aroma of cassis and black fruit; well-balanced; some slight tannins still present.
