A nice showing tonight. Getting close to maturity but still showing young. Very earthy on nose, notes of fresh mushrooms. Complex on the palate. Great stuff.

Opened and poured, this wine gave an excellent showing. This wine on the bouquet and palate remains youthful with subtle, underlying mature notes. The bouquet offers notes of earth, dark fruits, leather, and spice. The aromatics are expressive and detailed. The color is maturing dark ruby. The medium (full) bodied palate shows dark, brooding fruit combined with still present tannins on the medium length finish. This bottle suggests that the wine is at or around its peak but should continue to drink well for the next five years. Imported by Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant.

Strong note of tobacco at the finish. Mellowed after opening. Drinking well, , but still plenty of life.
