  Even better than the last one. Great nose, all kinds of tertiary, ferral Mourvedre stuff going on in the nose. Also some fruit left. The tannins are resolved, and there is a little acidity left to make the wine a pleasure in the mouth. Very fine. Drink up.

  Seems at or just past peak, but this was a bottle picked up at auction. Great complex nose, smokey, old bottle bouquet, meaty, leather, some dark blackberry and plum fruit left also. The tannin in this bottle is almost resolved, still some acidity, but fairly soft mouth feel. With air some soy sauce flavors creep in, but very nice for the first 90 minutes. Great with a leg of lamb.

  Maybe a 93. Outstanding, approaching peak, but no rush to drink. Would like more bottles.
