Nice wine, medium body fruit, tannin, definite strong herbal overtones - just started on the bottle, so we'll see how it develops - getting better, just tried with some 85% dark chocolate; 2 days later: just upgrade it from 86 to 88 - don't know how I didn't finished it sooner, but even better a couple days later, more subtle herbal.

Decanted for 2 hours. Earthy and smokey leather with prunes, black fruits and cassis hanging around; smooth. Nice finish; a bit hot. Me thinks this is getting close to its peak in another year or so. 90-91 pts. for me.

Really enjoying this bottle, even more than the previous one. Dark garnet color, mature fruit, slight earthy, leather, moderate tannins, even finish. Glad I still have a few bottles to try in the future.

OK - not much fruit. Open for 1.5 hours, didn't change much.

very good. rich fruit and firm tannins. I think this could age well for several years and dry out and get a more classic taste.
