Deep ruby. Pronounced aromas and flavours of blackcurrant, blackberry, pepper, coffee, vanilla, and dried fruits. Med+ acidity, med+ tannins. Full bodied and med+ finish. Very good.

Deep maroon. Plum, spice, and earth nose. Full bodied, blueberries, black olives, fully integrated tannins, toasted almonds, and a dry, medium length finish. Seems a bit past its peak. Drink now.

Flawed - strong animal, butyric acid nose and taste. Very similar to the first bottle. The 2 in between were very good. Understand why it was on sale given this bottle variation.

Maturing well. Has good brambly fruit, and has lost the somewhat animal note over the last couple of years. Drinking well now, but will last a few more years (but unlikely to improve).

Deep dark center, red rim with a little sign of age. A little sweet, bacon, cassis and blackberry. Smooth, brambles and blackcurrant, sappy, some eucalyptus, a little meaty, a bit of something animal in the background, good acid and tannin, some green pepper, nice finish of leaves, fruit and bacon fat. Much improved from the last bottle. Needs some air time to open up. Drink now and over the next 5+ years.
