  Need to drink 1 hour after opening. Prior to that palate was thin and 2 hours after opening the palate got weak again. Earth dark berry.

  This wine starts off soft after initial Taste. Ten seconds later it hits second gear an it makes it to fourth gear. What a beautiful showing. Tannins are non existent almost an fruit is super sexy as the time passes. The taste lingers for over a minute. It literally builds in your mouth. Starts off as if it was dying from all the bottle age an it just wakes up an keeps coming. I gave the bottle a few hours of air in the bottle before tasting. This wine was superb.

  Youthful dark saturated ruby. Beautiful aromas of small black fruits, perfumed cedar, tobacco, hint of lifted incense and earth. Palate shows mix of sweet and earthy cassis, black cherries, tobacco, medium acidity, fine tannins and a very perfumed (cedar + incense) finish. This was drinking great!

  Commanderie Event: Sociando Mallet (Minikahda Club, Mpls): Very dark red/purple color. Brief double decant. Drank a glass over 2 hours. Saddle leather, funk, menthol, cassis, black cherry, dried tobacco, and a slight twiggy note on the the nose. The tobacco really builds and blends with pencil somewhat and gradually it is the tobacco that takes over. The palate shows the same dried tobacco notes, then pencil, and saddle leather, layered and concentrated, fairly rich with nice dark fruits. Not sure I'd call this youthful, but this still has more life and was so much better than a bottle over 5 years ago. 92+ to 93pts.

  Part of a 2020-1995 Verticale. Star of the evening. Expressive and complex, perfectly balancing mature red berries, cedar, plum, sweet tobacco, chocolate and sweet spices with roast aromas, eucalyptus, liquorice and tea aromas. Build for another decade, but perfectly ready to drink.
