In March, 2022, I thought this wine was past its prime. Shows what I know, because this bottle - two years later - was terrific. Extremely dark, and the nose just lept out of the glass. Big time grilled meat, herbs, and pepper. Not too tannic, but the bodacious fruit made it seem like a "big" wine. Good, not great finish. Given my track record, I won't even hazard a guess on how much longer it will last.

pretty good at this point; I feel it my have plateaued at this point . It shows dark plum, game meat, and black licorice with some tannic structure on the Finnish. However it show a little heat and I wonder if the fruit will still be there in 4-5 year to out last the alcohol.

PnP. This continue to evolve and get better. Mix of fruit, meat and olive remains with the olive becoming more intriguing.

Wine of the night! A stupendous wine that was both lithe and substantial. An elegant wine.
