Had to drink my last bottle of this due to an impending move. No real change to my prior thoughts. This remains very good but for my taste probably not excellent. 90-91pts

Unfortunately despite my last note I couldn't keep my hands off these and opened another! Similar impressions to five months ago. Dark cherry fruit. Fairly dense. Just a hint of green and spice. Unmoved even when open for several days. Definitely one for the mid to long haul.

Very dark and dense on opening. Quite unyielding, doesn't give a lot away. Some sour cherries, charry oak? Rich mouth feel. With more air a touch of fresher raspberry fruit and purple floral notes emerge, but even over several days this remains quite monolithic. One for the long haul I think- I will try and keep my hands off my other two bottles for awhile. 90+?

A darker array of mixed berries, perfumed nose of raspberry and delicate stems. Subtle sweet fruits underneath the fine-grained tannins. (82-83/100)
