Opened and poured, showing quite nicely with mature dry notes on a seamless palate. Smooth, gaining traction with air. Started off muted, but opening broadly. Cherry, lots of red cherry, with some anise seed coming through.

Well, with my former rating an 82 earlier this month, I must say this bottle was an enormous improvement. My guess is we a re getting to the end of life with this vintage. If you have any. I'd advise you drink up.

Dark smoky blackberry nose, dark berry and cedar on the palate. Required decanting and took 30-60 minutes to develop, but then WOW! Much better than expected! Long finish, with tannin. Drink now.

On a downhill slide. Smoky red fruit. Higher sediment. Flatter finish. 85 points.
