This bottle is drinking better than my previous bottle, or perhaps my tastes have changed. This has a nice aged Bordeaux taste, with a nice dry finish, but still enough fruit to balance it out.

Dark purple in color, earthy, smoky smell and taste. Licorice on the nose and palate more noticeable on day 3. I have 3 additional bottles that I will cellar for a few more years before enjoying another bottle.

PNP. From memory. Dark color. Nose with tobacco and menthol dominating. On palate this has some greenness with withering tannin that figures prominently in the finish. Good fruit density but tough.

Typical good Bordeaux character with ripe, muted cassis, light acidity, and chalky tannins.

Good balance: not overly acidic, low on tannins Did not taste fruity.
