Wine 1 of 6. Medium brown, orange towards the edges. On day one, the wine showed red fruit (fresh and dried), dill, coffee, tobacco, spices, and cinnamon, with medium-level acidity, fully resolved tannin, and good length. Upon opening, the wine was lightly drying and a little weak, but it developed very well with moderate aeration, and showed best in combination with Filet Mignon. By day two, the wine became a little fuller, smoothly textured and fairly harmonious, with nice dark and red fruit flavors, dill, tobacco, light balsamic notes, and complex spice notes, still with good persistence. Still enjoyable if maybe not quite on the same level on day three.

I suggest to drink now, after 30 minutes of aeration in a small decanter.

Wine 2 of 6. Medium to dark garnet colour. Red fruit, light herbal notes, spice, and intense liquorice, with medium-level acidity, partly resolved tannin, and average length. A little unclean, with average concentration and complexity. The finish was very drying on day one, with an unpleasant, cardboard like aftertaste. By day two, the finish fleshed out a little and only remained lightly drying, and the unpleasant, cardboard like aftertaste was less prominent but still there.

Wine 3 of 6. Medium garnet colour. Red fruit, herbal notes, light coffee, light tobacco, and light spice, with good acidity, partly resolved tannin, very good length. Average concentration. Undefined and disjointed on day one. Improved, more balanced but still undefined and imprecise, and still a little rustic and disjointed on day two. Acidic and drying by day three.

Much less enjoyable than a bottle I had about six years ago. Pair with hearty meat dishes. Drink up.

Wine 4 of 6. Medium to dark garnet colour. Good, ripe red and dark fruit, spices, liquorice, and herbal notes, with medium-level acidity, ripe, partly resolved tannin and good length of the herbal finish. Well-structured. (88+) Equally enjoyable on day two. (88+) Very pure and precise red cherry fruit and intense spice on day three, with a lightly dry finish. (89)

I liked the wine best on day three. Still has some upside potential.

Wine 5 of 6. Bought recently, from an untrustworthy source... Medium brown; limited complexity of fading dried fruit, dill, spices and balsamic notes, with an unpleasant aftertaste. Not pleasant to drink. Improper storage, from what it seems...

Wine 6 of 6. Medium ruby colour. Beautiful red fruit, raspberry, dill, herbal notes, spices, light tobacco, with lively acidity, ripe, fine tannin that is chewy in a positive way, and very good length. Good structure and grip at the front and the end, juicy if maybe a little less structured and grippy in the middle which might become an issue as the wine ages. Integrated and very drinkable on days two and three. Polished.

Should develop well over the medium term, but might not last for the very long term. Good value. 91(?)
