Garnet in color. Nose of cherries and cardamom with the spice dominant. This wine was much better than when I drank it six months ago. Much fuller and flavorful. This still did not have the lushness and smoothness of the bottles I drank several years ago. I think this wine has reached a point of drinking sooner rather than later.

While this was still a good bottle of wine it was nowhere near the level of my last bottle two years ago. Flavors were more muted and while not disjointed it was not impeccably smooth like the last bottle. Maybe this is starting to decline. I gave a one hour decant and drank over an hour and a half, so I don't think it needed more air.

Dark red fruit, smooth as a baby’s bottom lying on velvet. Chocolate, a hint of pepper. Elegant wine.
