91-92: Not sure there's much more to evolve, but this wine has settled down so much since I last had it ten years or so ago. The heat is gone, it's got tons of ripe black fruit still, tannins are pretty well resolved. It's big, juicy, average finish. Nice bottle.

Amazing nose of expressive wild berries but requires at least 30 minutes of decanting to have the tannins calm down. Good berry fruit with notes of cassis, licorice and a touch of earth. Gets better over time.

Holding up really well. Cherry cola notes. Pomegranate, chocolate. Rhubarb. Huge finish.
