March 28, 2018 - Deep and dark. This shows well integrated dark fruit with a touch of tobacco leaf. Lovely balance. Very enjoyable over three nights.

Gros Pere Does not like this wine:
October 24, 2016 - Past its prime. On the nose, little bit of spice at the beginning, then resin/tar, earth, dust. Acid has taken over the palate. Fruit is gone and tertiary flavors have gone to seed. Should not have held this one so long.
