Best, and I think, last of our bottles. Dark ruby in the glass, nose of wet tobacco, black fruits and forest floor. Silky mouthfeel and the palate followed the nose. Nice medium plus finish. Wish I had one more to see if this continues to evolve.

Just what was needed on a Friday night when no one wanted to leave the house. This was easy to drink and disappeared too quickly.
Nice brambly fruit, a bit of spice, and espresso notes.
Similar to our bottle about a year ago, seems to be in a nice holding pattern, but that was our last one.

Last of our birthyear bottles for our son. Drank with beef bourguignon, which paired quite nicely.
Gave it a 90 minute decant while the stew was simmering. In the glass dark ruby core to a bricking meniscus. On opening nose showed smoked meats, spices, and some fading brambly fruit. Palate was silky with spices and leather notes dominating. Finish was balanced and long.
After 90 minutes in the decanter the smoked meat note was gone, but replaced with leather, dried tobacco and bay leaf. The spice and brambly fruit remained. Palate was similar maybe a little rounder than on opening and enjoyable through the couple of hours it took us to finish the bottle.
Since he'll be studying abroad and we won't be with him on his 21st this was a nice way to celebrate a little early.
