This wine keeps getting better. Pop and pour...it is ready to go. Smooth, round and totally integrated. Dark savory nose and palate of forest floor, leather, mushroom and dark fruit. Acid is starting to wain...not a long life ahead but absolutely singing now.

This wine was my first case purchase about a half decade ago. I am a little over half way through the case and each bottle is better than the last. Pnp...it is ready to go. Smooth, round and totally integrated. Dark savory nose and palate of damp earth, mushroom and dark fruit. Still enough acid and tannin to keep it lively but I believe it is peaking right now and I won't take another 5 years to drink the last 5 bottles.

Double decanted; very light sediment. Deep ruby red. First pour after one hour: Wonderful nose of blackberry. Full berry flavor brightened by plenty of acid, and balanced by soft tannins. Pleasant ten second after-taste. A very pleasing wine that might be at its peak. Next day: Nose more muted. Still a nice wine, but probably better yesterday.
