This bottle has certainly peaked. I'm not entirely sure of provenance... On the nose, fully mature: roses, dried leather, iodine. On the palate, acidity still very present; dried cherry, earth, and iron notes. Tannin very soft on the finish. Very elegant, and subtle. Paired perfectly with steak with shaved parmesan and arugula. If this bottle is any indication, this has peaked and might even be on the downswing...

still great, and even more open on day two; medium body, smooth; good fruit concentration and balance

closed to start, but opened in 30min to reveal a lovely, elegant, lighter style with soft red fruit and fine acidity.
