Medium ruby in appearance -definitely some lightening at the rim, but more color than I expected from this cuvee at age 15 or so.
Beautiful and complex aroma of black fruits, balsamic notes and even some vanilla and spice. Nose is definitely still fresh.
Medium bodied on the palate with some nice structure and similar flavor characteristics. The finish is medium plus and savory.
Overall this bottle performed above expectations given the hear and the producer which is always nice! No real sign of fatigue, but why push your luck- I would drink up.

Dark cherry with faint hint of orange around the edge. Wood and tobacco with touches of mint and blueberry on the nose. Nicely balanced, but relatively short to mid-palate fnish....not much cellar life left for this one.

A bit high acidity suggested it’s indeed past its ideal consumption date.

Ruby with slight bricking. Muted aroma. Diminishing red fruits. Smooth, balanced, medium body with round tannins. Drink up.
