Again, as lovely as the previous bottle. Nose is dark cherry and a bit of camphor. Palate is bright and dark at the same time with bright red fruit notes and darker leathery quality. Significant acid that adds to the brightness. Then clear tannic texture rounding out the flavor. May actually be higher than 92. I'll have to check with next bottle.

Drank over 2 nights - not as good as last bottle from ~ 1 month ago. Medium red color with savory notes (pipe tobacco?), sweet cherry and strawberry on nose. On palate, medium body, medium+ acidity, medium tannins and long finish. 91-92 range. Was better on night 2.

Same qualities as in last note but a bit intensified, so this is really getting to be a special vintage.

Needs some air to really open up. I will wait a few years before opening another.

Lost notes - really enjoyed this though. 93+/- from memory but will formerly rate next time.
