  At this stage in the evolution, it’s trending downward, but still a very enjoyable bottle to open now.
  
  Followed over 24hrs. Distinct fig, blackberries, green peppercorn and sweet tobacco aromatically. Very integrated on the palate showing a slightly faded red/orange rim. Black cherry tobacco leaves, truffle, peppered berry fruits and charcoal smoke. Sweet finish, but not very lengthy at this point. Pop the corks and enjoy.

  Heavily corked. Color starting to have bricking.

  This is big, bold and concentrated, but in a good way if you like the style. dark fruits, licorice and black cherry on the nose. It begins to open and smooth out with a brief decant. Better the second night. Ready now, but has life left.

  My last bottle of 6 drank over the last decade. I just don't like this wine. It's a bizarre combination of hyper-concentrated black fruit/licorice on top of too much pepper, too much alcohol and too much of other things that in combination form a big opaque mess that is unenjoyable. The bottles have been consistent. Obviously some others like it but not my flavor profile.

  Incredibly deep and lovely--darkest red berries, spice, earth.
