Still deep ruby, some fading. fairly foursquare. Still chunky tannins. Good acidity. Bitter cherry, blackberry, plum. Lots of exotic spices, smoky meatiness. Plenty complexity. Medium length though. Still drinking well, interesting but not a soft or easy drink.

Saturday Tasting Group (Knightsbridge Wine Shop (Northbrook, IL)): Earthy, rusty, naily, light tar. Great fruit and spice. Cinnamon, baking spices. High acid. Less grip. Elegant. Nice age showing on the nose.

Tar, dark fruits, and a distinct latex component. Middle aged. Integrating but balancing tannins. Nice.

Vino Ars Vivendi Tasting (Amsterdam Hilton): Elegant and polished, good fruit, drinking well already, open, a bit easy, seems to lack real class.
