Previous bottle was two years ago, but impression is almost identical. Dark ruby-garnet, hint of amber at the edge, slightly translucent. Pronounced aromas of red and dark fruits, especially black raspberries and plums. Plenty of fruit, excellent balance, with tannin completely resolved. Very long aftertaste, with the same flavors carrying through. No longer hot on the finish. Outstanding, and perfectly mature, soft and round, won't get any better. Drink over the next year. Ric

First of our bottles I've tasted. Dark ruby-garnet, hint of amber at the edge, slightly translucent. Pronounced aromas of red and dark fruits, especially black raspberries and plums. Plenty of fruit, excellent balance, with some acidity and tannin but neither too prominent. Very long aftertaste, with the same flavors carrying through. A bit hot on the finish. Outstanding, and perfectly mature, but won't go into decline anytime soon. Ric

This drank very nicely. Well proportioned fruit, soft tannins.
