  Easy drinking smooth BdM. Great acidity left combined with red cherries, leather and meaty notes, and lovely earthiness. Well balanced and just very enjoyable

  Very funky nose of mushroom, damp earth, warn leather, so much that I thought this might have been slightly corked, but the palate didn't suffer the same fate. Decanted for 1 hour, which was just right as PnP palate was a bit tart and closed.
  Smacks your palate with red licorice, dark cherries, black plum, and LOTS of backing spices. Great depth and long, spicy finish. Full-bodied, with medium tannins, medium+ acidity will allow this to age for another 5 years easily, although I really like where this is at right now. If the nose was more precise, it would rate even higher.

  Not a very open nose - you get some cherries - on the palette the wine gives you both red and dark cherries and some mature plums - you also get leather and tobacco and some dark chocolate. Medium acidity and tannins - this is clearly a complex wine with a decent aftertaste. This is a great wine that drinks well - we are ending at very solid 93 after discussing 94.

  Fully mature. Harmonious. Cherry. Kind of floral.
