  Pretty much Ditto to the tasting notes last year.
  Maybe a bit of pepper and liquorice has crept in to make the nose and palette a bit fuller, or maybe it's just a variation, the bottle is sealed with cork after all.
  The good news is it was drunk over 2 days and didn't change much on day 2 so it has a few years ahead of it.

  Serve with roast lamb, beef, venison, and with semi-hard cheeses.

  Colour: Very dark purple, garnet tinge
  Nose: Menthol, cloves, black currant
  Palette: Menthol, musk, black current, plum.
  
  Missing a bit of the depth of fruit I'd expected and somewhat acidic, drying finish, a bit short.
  
  Not as good as I'd thought it would be, especially at this price point.
  Didn't improve much over the night as it was drunk.
  Not overly complex.
  
  Wasn't bad, but more like a $30 wine that a $100+ wine.

  Medium ruby color. Balanced understated nose of ripe black fruit, cedar, toasted oak and savory notes. Dry, balanced acidity and tannins, palate follows through. Medium+ body, fantastic balance, long finish. An elegant expression.

  Delicious. Silky but full of verve, pure cherry and cassis fruit but a mature oak influence too, supple tannins, ageing most gracefully. I really enjoyed it.
