Still a very saturated purplish black. Nose of embers, lead pencil, charred wood, vanilla, coffee beans, roasted earth and ripe blackberries. Full-bodied and plush on the palate, this is rich and enveloping and is definitely fully mature. The fruit is being subdued by the oak, but this is still an excellent wine that would go great with smokey grilled meat. Drink now-2025. 92

Beautiful wine. Drinking really well now. Lots of lovely dark fruit, some chocolate and coffee, a steak of acidity and lovely dusty tannins. My kind of wine in a great place now!

Nice nose of dark cherries, hint of prunes, sandalwood, cigar box… Nice taste of super silky tannin with ripe and fresh dark cherries.

Lovely wine for price, tannin still surprisingly firm but very approachable now. Overall drinking well now but could cellar longer.
