Opaque purple. Aromas of black cherry, black raspberry, violets, licorice, rhubarb, and smoke that evolve over a day to a heady cherry liqueur. Very restrained palate that demonstrates stem and red berries but little else initially. After a day, cassis dominates the palate, yet the wines's flavors remained cloaked. Persistently finishes with a bitter tinge. Best to let this one take a long nap.

Drunk over two days. Decanted for one hour on the first day. Somewhat restrained. On the second day (stored overnight in the fridge with argon gas) the wine was even better. Full body of dark berries. Promising, I think the wine will be great with another 10 years. 92 pts. at the moment.

Ripe blackcurrant, cedar and vanilla. Full bodied, structured and concentrated on the palate but with good freshness. Finishes long. A very modern style. Polished but not particularly exciting.

Tobacco, graphite, blackcurrant and berries, just right amount of oak.

Black and blue fruited aromas and palate. Balanced and deep. Best in a decade plus.
