  Rich, dense and packed with dark fruits, red fruits, berries, cherries and some charcoal. Felt this drank much younger than 23 years old. 96 acid was in check and balanced. Not over done at all. A really nice VR with good spice and VR character. A much fresher bottle than the previous bottles of this wine. Drink over the next 5 years would be my view.

  Agree with Kemo, but the fruit is fading.

  Very consistent with previous two notes I have posted on this wine. Nice wine, time to drink up. No further upside yet still enjoyable now.

  Similar to last bottle - lots of dusty, musty, earthy notes on the open. Needs 30-45 mins to blow off. Consumed over 3 hours. The wine retains the earthy tones but gives way to cherries, red fruits, strawberries. Still a lot of structure in this 96 as the tanins are in the forefront. Still, this is quite nice and not fading. Some minor heat but doesnt really detract from the experience. Decent finish. Dont see upside from here but this is not going downhill anytime soon.

  Fantastic stuff and in the zone right now. Fully secondary with a wow nose and lots of earth and funk on the palate.
