  93-94. At its peak I guess. It still has ripe dark cherry mixed with fresh cassis and raspberry. There is also strong leather character (someone said new baseball glove and it’s quite right !). A modern wine with very toasted oaky flavors mixed in.

  This bottle was a bit “over the hill” for my liking. Some interesting characteristics but more signs of fading as opposed to secondary flavors.

  Pop and pour. After a half hour it was beautiful. Rich plum, vanilla and new baseball glove nose. Outstanding balance of acidity and fine tannins that gave some lingering body well after the finish. If this were $100 + I'd be happy, but it's well under. Thanks Canoehead for sharing. I wish I could score a few of these now!

  Same as previous TN. Really shining right now. Not tipping over yet to full-on tertiary fruits and savouries but definitely evolving nicely.

  Needs a decant to pour off of the significant sediment. It is a lovely pronounced nose - dark red fruits and green olive and baking spice. Good rich mouthfeel w lots of ripe fruit and fine tannin. Alcohol is well-integrated (even though its 15%). Only complaint is a bit of a shorter-than-expected finish. Perfect with prosciutto-wrapped, mustard pork tenderloin.
