Decanted when I arrived at a friend’s house. Medium to dark ruby garnet colored. Lots of wet stones, leather and cherry on the nose and palate. Well stored bottle as this was drinking nicely with no sign of oxidation to speak of. Medium acidity and good ripe fruit in this hot and difficult vintage with no sense of raisining either. Nice with mixed beef and venison grille

From magnum. Quite ripe, rather dark fruit, spices and smoky oak on the nose. On the palate powerful and intense, very concentrated fruit, slightly spice. Good grip. Not extremely complex or layered. Medium finish. Drink up. 87-89

Quite nice tonight. On opening there were strong floral aromas wiih red fruit and earth. After several hours of air, the nose toned down and the palate opened up. Softer red fruit and earth with a well integrated tannic backbone. While very enjoyable, this NSG, in my opinion, doesn't have a very good qpr.
