  Decanted at 6:30pm and tasted over 5 hours with some left for a later date. Dark, nearly opaque garnet color with little to no sign of age. At first the nose was full of tarry and oak derived scents like vanilla and some char/smoke but this gave way over the first couple hours to a much more nuanced and perfumed nose. Lilacs, plum, licorice, cherry, baking spices and pipe tobacco abound on the nose at hour 5. Palate still has some lightly grippy tannin, plenty of acidity for continued aging and is equally complex and evolving over time with air. Getting more complex and elegant as time went on. Finish is very long with an emphasis on the vanilla and plummy notes. This is a much different (and better) wine after several hours in the decanter. Great with grilled steaks.

  Improved since last bottle in 2016. Very good performance. Slow ox for 30min. Dark red/black'ish color. Opaque. Fruit, dark berries, spice, some complexity. Thick, jammy texture, very pleasent. Long finish.

  Our last bottle....they've all been excellent and it was fun watching their evolution up to this point. For us, this particular wine peaked between 10-18 years of age. This last bottle seems to indicate to us that this wine has now firmly entered the late maturity stage, which is still excellent, just different - not as vibrant and youthful, but more mellow and 'earthy'. Still a joy to drink and should be for a few more years at least.

  Rich, modern-styled. Good depth and has good balance. In a very good place right now and should hold here for a while. I'd prefer a little more Sangio character, but there's no doubt this is great drink right now.

  J’avais oublié mes observations précédentes ... Ce vin était malheureusement sur la pente descendante ... Avons été déçu suite à la dégustation d’un Luis Canas 2005 avant ...
