Blind, purple red, deep rich and thick notes of blueberries, vanilla, oak and smoke. Very long and full bodied. A fruit bomb. Sorry to those who feel this wine is ready to drink. It is too young, needs another 5 years to tame down and should be enjoyable until 2035.

My last bottle of this vintage, wish I had more. Blackberry, boysenberry, plum, steely granite, a bit of charcoal on the palate. Rich and bold. Time to drink this as the tannins are well integrated but this is delicious.

Decanted about two hours. Ruby with thin watery rim. Quite a bit of sediment. Nose: black fruits, graphite, pepper, black currant, vanilla. Tannins are mild and rounded. Medium plus acidity. Long finish. Currant, blackberry, bell pepper on the palate. We'll balanced. 14.5 abv not overwhelming because the wine is juicy and balanced. I think it's drinking at its peak now. Will last to 2023.

Still plenty of fruit on palate. Well balanced, drinking very well now. Still some life left in it.
