Pretty consistent with my last notes, though maybe faded a bit or bottle variation. Still tons of fruit, finish was not as glorious as I remembered last time. Served with a cheeseburger, so maybe not best match? Drink up, I don’t see this improving.

Really impressive. Very old world on the nose. Lots of funk, earth, mineral. More fruit on the palatte than expected. Red currant, blueberry, mocha. Strong earthiness on the finish. Really long finish. Seems to be drinking perfectly now. Will probably last but not sure I would wait too long on it. Hard to see it getting much better than it is right now.

Very Bordeaux like or even almost Brunello like. Good acidity, and freshness. Incredible nose of pine, cedar, leather and potpourri. Delicious wine.

The flavors now show the leather and graphite of a well aged Cabernet. It has the older plum flavors that you would expect. Aged and at it’s peak.

By far the best of the bottles I had. Dried cherry, just enough barnyard funk to make it interesting. Big finish, just delightful
