  The nose was riddled with smoky cassis notes while the palate seemed quite young for an 8 year old wine: nice blackberry sweetness, along with vanilla oak, and dried currants ... Within 2 hours the wine takes a funny turn and goes very earthy - it was definitely a drink now (upon opening) kinda wine.

  I was worried this might not be good after sitting for so long, but it was rather good. If anybody still has some, it's still good to drink.

  A nice deep color, pungent berry aroma, sharp taste at first the robust finish.

  Quite powerful and muscular with a certain degree of tightness. This was evident even with 5 years of aging in the Kaiken Ultra 2004. Black Cherry, lavander, toasted oak. Needs air for at least 15 minutes. It just wasn't that approachable upon tasting. Quite tight, densely packed and backward. Best from 2012 to 2017.
