  Earthy, herbaceous, sour cherry, roses and some candied red fruits with time. Nice.

  Open for a day. Mature red, lots of bricking at the rim. Good legs. Started off hard and earthy and never softened. Very earthy nose, with only a hint of red berry emerging with airing. On the palate it is very dry, very hard, and even nasty. Clearly this has hit maturity and perhaps gotten a long way past--but it's only 17. Not charming in any way. Disappointing. 4-9-10-4: 77/100.

  Past its prime. A little tannic, not much aroma. Not bad, just past its prime

  Garnet colored with a nose of black cherry and currant. Hint of black pepper and tobacco. Full bodied with a round texture and long finish.

  Very aromatic, blackfruit based nose. Full bodied with outstanding density and richness. Almost totally blackfruit based notes at first, backed by leather and earth. After it’s been open about two hours, started to pick up some red fruit notes (cherry and raspberry). Tannins come in on the finish and are well balanced, but there’s still a lot of structure here. The wine was much more youthful than I was expecting, but is showing exceptionally well at this stage.
