With Neeta and Manoj, second wine of the evening with appetizers. Slow oxed then decanted about an hour prior to drinking.
Dark ruby color, some bricking. Nose showing dark berry, spice, minerals. Palate of black cherry, cola, savory notes, crushed rock. Shows nice depth through the mid palate, spice and earth. Medium/full body, long finish.
Fabulous showing on this evening. Continued to improve in the glass over the time we drank it. This is fully mature at this point, really showing a lot of depth and energy. I think well stored bottles will drink at this level for a while but I dont think they will improve much.

deepish red, just starting to brick, lush black cherries with a hint of cola, cloves, on the palate fully mature with generous and toasty fruit, game notes, good finish that is slightly drier than expected.
***, now and drink soon.

Wonderfully mature ripe dark cherry and blackberry on the nose and palate with delicious soft tannins on a long finish.

Similar tasting note to previous bottle, but perhaps a bit ultra-ripe.
