Medium ruby colour with garnet tinges. Aromas of alcohol, plum, and tomato stems. Medium-bodied, with herbs/stems, red fruit. Plenty of acidity, but a little hollow on the midpalate. Short-moderate finish, ~20-25s, with red fruit. A little too simple for a bottle of this stature.
Medium ruby colour. Aromas of chocolate, plums, sandalwood, currant, and dried violets. Medium-bodied, with red fruit, cola, plum, spice, and licorice. Tannins are well integrated. Moderate finish, ~35s, with red fruit. Drink now.
Medium-dark ruby colour. Aromas of plums, earth, herbs, cocoa, flowers, prunes, and alcohol. Medium-bodied, showing some evolved notes of leather, plum, minerals, herbs, prunes, and dried cherries. Moderate-long finish, ~35-40s, with dark fruit and olives.
Medium-ruby colour. Aromas of currant, herbs, sweet cherries, black plums, licorice, and wood. Medium-full bodied, very closed, but shows just hints of dark fruit/black plums, wood, smoke, and chocolate. Moderate finish, ~30-35s, with black plums and licorice. This has closed down and needs a few years in the cellar at least.
Light-moderate ruby colour. Aromas of funk, smoke, tobacco, olive, plum, caramel, vanilla, and peach. Plenty of fruit on the nose. Medium-full bodied, very plummy, with herbs and licorice notes. Moderate finish, ~30s, with black fruit.
