Very good, complex, interesting. Lots of black olive. This is some natural winemaking wine! Broad, wild and untamed. Black fruit. Probably past peak and time to drink up.

Color/App: dark ruby core -> moderately deep fuschia rim; medium + viscosity. Coarse and alcoholic on PnP; decanted and let sit for 45-60 minutes and it came around a decent amount. Bouquet of blackberries, violets and olives and some nice meatiness. Palate still has some seriously grippy tannins on the front end suggesting this still needs 2-3 years sleep. Picking around, I can find some black fruit, roasted meat and charcoal before the tannins rush back in and shut down the finish. Seems like a 90-92 point wine but judgement reserved as I'd like to see what appears (or is left) after the tannins fade.

Drinking exceptionally well, after being Audozed for 120 mins. Violets, black fruit, hints of animality/meat, good acidity, fully integrated tannins. Just lovely. Best bottle. Drinking at peak.

Delicious bottle entering its peak. My last bottle of this vintage.

Nothing special when first opened but after 30 minutes some lovely tannins appeared which gave the wine a great deal of depth.
