This is at its prime, but will not get better. Full-bodied, rich and dark on the palate with a true, long finish. Moderate sediment; stand for a day before drinking and drink soon. Asks for strongly flavored food. Unlike thel last taste in 2012, it's now ready to drink upon pouring.

Aging beautifully. This is still somewhat tannic and stiff out of the bottle, but softened up perfectly after just a few minutes in the glass. Excellent body and structure with a complex and long finish. At its peak now; probably can drink over the next couple of years. The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are medium. There is moderate sediment in the bottle. The body is full. The wine has leathery texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.
