Deep, dark dense eggplant color, bountiful nose, restrained fruit until mid palate, nice balance - a bit heavy on the tannins - but I like these tannins because they are soft and velvety, a mile long finish.

Disappointing but possibly flawed bottle. Decanted and consumed over 2 nights, but did not finish bottle. VERY tannic earthy and never seemed to open up. Almost like it needed more cellar time, but 5 years should be enough.

Nice bottle - same comments as before - tannins seemed much tamer this time around.

Solid effort, with black fruit on nose, mellowing fruit on palate, and mediium finish. Not remarkable, but well-balanced and well-crafted.
