Ripe, concentrated, acid minus and over oaked, which took away from the wine.

Decadent, very rich, very ripe, very strong oak signature. Pleasure bomb, but not really much of interest for me.

Cellared at optimal conditions since release, I think this vintage is at the end of its best window. Inky purple black color, very sweet, the tannins have faded away so nothing to offset the port like richness. Probably never intended to be a long term cellar candidate, drink now. 15.9 abv.

Not at the best of its trajectory... maybe another 3-5 years to go

Drinking so nicely now. Lovely integration of the tannins and cab, carries the alcohol effortlessly. Amazingly elegant for such a big wine. Very good indeed. Will easily go 3-5 more years, but delicious right now with an hour and a half of air.
