Very dark red/purple color. PNP, drank a glass over 2 hours plus. Very nice Bordeaux nose to start, but it becomes much more muted over 30 minutes. Dark fruit, foret floor, creosote, cassis, blackberry, and black cherry on the nose. The palate shows the earth, wood and savory character, nice fruits that do seem to fade faster than expected; cassis, plum, black cherry, blackberry, a fairly soft texture and pliable tannins. 90+ to 91pts.

Pop and pour. Really drinking well right now. Agree that there’s not much more to get out of continued cellaring but it definitely has shelf life left.

Drink now, in my opinion will not gain from more cellaring. Ripe fruit with clear developed tertiary aromas on nose and palate. Black currant, black berries, somewhat dried, tea.

Tasted great. Long finish, back fruit and vanilla notes. Subdued tannin. Better than expected.
