Nose of dried plums, thyme, and warm woody spices. The palate starts on dark, very ripe plums, moving to ripe figs and ending on tart blackberries with hints of oak and a slight bitterness reminding me of black tea. The finish is slightly thin. Good now but probably on its last legs.

This bottle was really nice. Elegant, showing nice tertiary elements. Don't think it has a long life ahead but good for 2-3 years. Opened about 2 hours before serving.

Past peak. Enjoyed previous bottles but this one was just simple, not much interesting, little fruit, very slight earthiness, no structure. Cork was perfect and color youthful. Will open my last bottle soon to confirm that it's not bottle specific.

This 375ml bottle may be a bit past its' prime. A loss of fruit and freshness is as expected in this format size and age. Color is still a decently vibrant red with little oxidation. Tannins are softer now. Perhaps a little bit tired.

A very late night opening and we seemed to enjoy this as the empty bottle was sitting on th table this morning!
Full nose with earth, herb, and dark fruit. Similar flavors but I remember the body being on the lighter side of medium.
