January 20, 2016 - Similar to last bottle in 2013. Quite intense, fresh, spicy and some finishing tannins.

August 15, 2015 - PnD. Dark crimson in color. Deep, alluring nose of currants, eucalyptus, a little menthol, and a little smoked meat. Tannins are fully resolved and texture is silky smooth. Based on this bottle, I wouldn't say it has passed the hump yet. Last and best of my three bottles...its been great seeing this evolve over the last 3.5 years.
Enjoyed in a Riedel Vinum Bordeaux glass at 65F. -
