This one was fantastic. Very powerful, very silky and smooth. Lots of ripe red berry fruit and a hint of tabacco leaves. Tannins quite supple, think I hit this one about perfect, in a somewhat cooler cellar would likely keep a bit longer.

Nice red fruit, cassis, and cedar on the nose. Palate shows a bit too much oak with more acid than I would like. Strong tannins and enough complexity that this wine might be great in 5 years or so. Try again in 2015/2016.

Remains tight and acidic. A decant might have helped. No noticeable sediment. Strong flavors and lots going on. A few more years left in this one.
