3 hr decant; served with braised Mediterranean brisket. Dark purple, with herbal notes on the nose. Full bodied, yet soft on the tongue, with a velvety mouthfeel. Tannin still showing a slight bit of grip. Excellent pairing with the brisket. Got better as the meal progressed. Perhaps will be even better in another a year or two.

This is drinking wonderfully and firing on all cylinders, still has the dark inky fruit but the fruitiness has toned down a lot since the note from over 10 years ago. The mineralogy and elegancy is still there, and as another taster noted the tannins are still noticeable but they melt in your mouth and don't distract. Wonderful! Wish I had another to share with dad.

Dark purple, with just a bit of brown beginning to show. Notes of dark cherry, cedar, and licorice. Very long finish. Really nice.

Notes of anise and juicy blackberry. Very nice, but fruit is fading. Drink up.
