Drinking beautifully. Still lots of fruit, dark berries, eucalyptus, rosemary, very nice. Tannins have softened but still very present and grippy without a decant. Chocolatey, sweet Grenache like acidity, Kirsch. Still super fresh, and I could see this easily going another 10 years. Too bad it's my last bottle.

A nose of dark fruits and spice, dark garnet in color. A medium bodied red with black cherry, raspberry, some vanilla and spice on finish, was very good. www.winelx.com

Deep, dark-garnet color, brightly toned with ruby edges. Aromas of red currant & blackberry, coffee bean, cracked pepper, fresh rosemary, violet and cedar - fairly reserved in intensity but opening up a little more over time. Showing cool-toned blackberry and cherry fruit on the palate, with secondary clove, tea and floral accents. Flavors are harmonious. Round and elegant through the middle, with medium integrated acid and fine medium tannins, finishing with dry zesty red fruit and moderate to long length. Harmonious, youthful, and drinking well. Needs a few hours to open up.

Bitterness. OK, but did not resonate
