  From an excellent looking bottle with a 2.5 cm fill and a firm cork, this wine had a light red center and light puce rims. The medium+ intensity nose emanated roses, cherries, rhubarb, and some soil. It was a 97 point nose.
  
  In the mouth, this wine was refined but gorgeous. It was pretty but mellow at first. As it aired, it picked up power and presence. It was big flavor without weight.
  
  This wine is certainly at, or slightly past its peak. However, it was awesome! Drink now.

  Bottle number two was worth opening. Surprisingly clear and precise fruit. Soft spice across the palate. Great bottle.

  From a good looking bottle with 2 cm fill, this bottle was Reserve Nicholas. It had an appropriately branded cork and the sediment was so heavy I needed to rinse the bottle 8 times. The wine had a deep red center and orange/tan rims. The high intensity nose showed sour cherries, raspberries, rhubarb, brown spices, and some Cuban cigar. It was ripe and rich yet quite sour and firm at the same time.
  
  In the mouth, this wine was gorgeously balanced with light, rounded tannin and outstanding length. It had great acidity and excellent length. After 5 hours of air it was blasting roses and smoked meat. The flavor persistence was outstanding. This bottle was close to 97 point territory.
  
  This was a wonderful bottle that delivered pretty much all you could ask for in a red Burg. As a side note, I would not decant off the sediment for this wine. It added a little something.
