Still lots of life left on this one. Lots of tannins and acidity. Rootbeer flavors with a tinge of orange marmalade. A bit of heat and dusty chocolate on the finish.

Racey nose. Nice color with some bricking. Good acid and dark fruit. Somewhat loose and unfocused with a wooden edge trying to hold things together. Next day much better with emergence of fruit and edge faded.

My best (and last) bottle of this wine. Spectacular nose (crushed rocks, red sour cherries, hints of orange rind, rose petals). Delicious on the palate too - fruit, acidity, minerality. Great balance. Hints of tertiary notes add complexity. Tannins and acidity still there, and suggest this should continue to age well for a few more yrs. If I had more (which, sadly, I do not), I would revisit in 2020.

Very similar to previous bottle (so won’t repeat myself). My hunch is that this could improve in the next 2-3 yrs, so I will try to stay away from my remaining bottle for a while.
