Similar to my prior two tasting notes. It is about as good as it will ever get now. That said, it really opens up after a 90 minute decant. Rustic style.

MUCH better two years after my first note. This wine smoothed out with some time and now drinks like the big rich Napa Cab I wanted it to be. With the right aging, and a two hour decant - a decent QPR.

Have loved this wine for years! Two bottles this week that have aged out after 8 years aging on my eurocave. So disappointing. 50-90 minute decant did not help.

The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are slow. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like black pepper, tobacco, dust and espresso. It tastes like black currant (cassis) and clove. The body is full. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.

Thin and hot, not much character. Tart berries and booze.
