April 28, 2024 - First of six purchased en premier and stored well . Showing Very nicely with two hours of air. There were moderate amounts of sediment so I double decanted. Rich primary fruit is still there at almost 2 decades and still has a tannic grip.

April 5, 2024 - Deep ruby color. Deep black fruits on the nose, blackberry, blackcurrant, hints of tobacco and vanilla. Very dry on the palate, medium bodied and intense with some pencil lead notes as well.

February 16, 2024 - Aromas showing concentrated dark berry fruits …. cassis, blackberry and ripe black cherries. A bit of cedar and leather on the finish with an herbal component. Flavours follow aromas. Still a juicy mouthfeel. Ripe berries, and cassis . Smooth and round. Good balance. Medium acidity. Dry tannins. Long finish.

February 8, 2024 - PNP into decanter. Needed more time in the decanter than we gave it. Black fruits, flowers, cedar and graphite on the nose. Concentrated dark fruits and some earth with plenty of tannins and a slightly dry finish. I will give the next bottle at least a 2 hour decant. Still young. 92 points
