  Fantastic, aging gracefully (but slowly). Intensely Bordeaux-like. Now or in a few years.

  Drinking well now, but a few more years to go. So Bordeaux in its aspect.

  A year and a half since the last bottle. Really wonderful. On day 2 this is very reminiscent of a high quality Pauillac or Margaux. Will last a few more years.

  As previous, but with more Bordeaux-like flavors. Green pepper and dense plum and toasty blackberry fruit. Good now, but has 5+ years left.

  Deep dark red center, red rim with some signs of age.
  Very herbal (rosemary, a little cumin), blackcurrant, some blackberry.
  Closed entry, lighter red fruit, some oak, high acid and tannin, cocoa, great complex flavors on the back end (some cassis, sweet corn, pyrazine), good length.
  Hard to know where this will go, very backward right now, needs another 5 years - one the for the long haul with potential upside.
