  I feared this was over the hill, but, wow, this is still very good. Speaks well of Rhys! Ripe black cherries and Asian spices. Muscular and ripe on the nose. Palate along the same lines, except that some tertiaries tame and balance the ripeness. Tannins fully integrated. Time to drink up, I think. Impressive QPR and ageability. My score reflects the fact that I paid a mere $30 for this.

  Very ripe black cherry aromas with sweet spice. Similar flavors are also large scaled, slightly less dominated by its ripeness. Good weight in the middle, slightly less complete on the finish that comes across slightly warm.

  Exceeded expectations. Prior bottles had been nice but simple with nothing more than ordinary length and little secondary flavors. This bottle has really evolved. Palate now has nice secondary flavors and mouthfeel and presence is much better.

  Doing fine, though the oak is quite prominent now.

  PnP. Garnet, with hint of orange at rim. Nose has loads of cherry, strawberry fruit and a stemmy, almost rhubarb streak that intertwines with asian spice, earth, mineral and floral notes. Palate has medium plus fruit with light acidity and soft, resolved tannins. Mineral noted on nose not really present texturally. Enters a bit round/simple but by the finish, acidity and remaining tannin strike a nice balance. Doing fine but not improving.
