Our last bottle...tannins have softened noticeably since we our last tasting a bit over a year ago. I noticed a hint of mint or menthol that don't remember being present in the previous bottles. The dark berry fruit may have muted a bit, but not much. Still a really nice bottle of wine....

P n Slow Oed for 45. Black fruit on nose, some earth. Dark n bold in glass. Some heat but not offensive. Enjoyed over sev hours. Not sure worth the tariff, but enjoyable. Wish I could find my 05 to compare. No sed.

Decanted 2 hours, cherries, leather, some herbs and a full med/long finish. A little too much heat from the 15.3% alcohol which distracted from the complexity.

Chocolate, cherries, raspberries, leather, glycerin and even a touch of maple. Full and dense but shows too much warmth from the 15.3% alcohol. Such a shame since we felt it masks the complexity of the finish.

Coravined a glass. Lots of heat and wood. Heat gets in the way of potentially really yummy dark red and black fruit.
