Nice dark purple coloring when poured. Lots of black fruit on the nose and tongue, but there was an unidentified herbal note that became progressively stronger as the wine breathed.

Beautiful bottle. Clear, bright, deep color. Med-high intensity with semi-aged aromas. Red fruits and french oak. Med in tannins and acidity and med-high in alcohol gives me the impression that this wine has some more years in it, contrary to some reviews. I'm going to taste this bottle again in another 3 years, but maybe it needs 5 more years.

Popped and poured. Better after an hour but solid from the start. I get hint of cinnamon and blackberry. A bit of dust as well. Gently sry finish. Very well balances, tannins and alcohol are right on.

Really showing well now. Youthful in this vintage, and in this time. Showing great. This bottle disappeared quickly!

Light but balanced cab. with mellow fruit and medium finish. Best after aerating or decanting.
