Needed 30 plus minutes uncorked to open up and start showing nicely despite its 10 year age. Plenty of dark ripe fruit, still fresh tannins, cedar notes, saddle leather. I think another 2 years or more as this wine still has a lot of life .

Pnp. Similar to my last tn last year but with more of a creamy vanilla and black fruits and plums on the nose. Drinking really well now for a pop and pour; the fine grained tannins I noted in the past are mostly in the background now; on the foreground, we have some black fruits and red berries along with the cassis and a hint of tobacco. Good medium finish with plenty of life ahead of it, but why wait?

Really nice wine. Deep color; med+ body; server comment on how wonderful the bouquet was... still a lot of life left in this and so glad I have a couple more bottles. Drinking superbly but I have no concerns about rushing them.
