Fantastic. This has aged wonderfully. Mature notes of oak, leather and dried flowers. You can tell there is barrique aging on this. It reminds me a lot of aged red Burgundy but more assertive on the palate. It tastes absolutely delicious. Tannins are fully rounded. Fruit is very present at the core. Good penetration and length. A modern offering that will certainly make a traditionalist doubt himself. Great effort.

Leather, cherries and tobacco - very smooth with considerable sediment. Probably past its prime even though Parker thought it should hold through 2018.

Served at dinner at Mosaic 2002. Also tasted in Piemonte in June 2002. Tar and roses. Great depth and complexity on both nose and palate. Opens beautifully with a few hours. Great now should be spectacular in five years. Long finish.

Very rich dark fruit nose with significant tannins still present suggesting further aging.
