Complete different from my last bottle of 8 years ago. Evolved very well , now much more balanced, less powerful, nice red fruits, cherries, coffee, savory with nice acidity

Decanted for 40 mins. Very nice nose of red berries and lilacs, very aromatic on the nose, yet elegant. The palate follows with elegant red berries, reaching the end of its peak, good tannins, just excellent with grilled lamb entrecote. I would not be keeping this for much longer in the cellar, drink up in the next couple of years!

G5 - Variety is the Spice of Life (Juliette): Blind. Stewed red fruit nose and a whiff of heat. Can see the resembles to zin in the fruit profile. Rough and tumble with oak and tannins battling it out. Tongue feels coarse at the finish and the texture is coarse.

Didn't care for this wine at all. Poured blind. Reminds me of some of the early and mid-decade 2000 wines from CA, showing lots of spicy, hot, aggressive, boozy markers in both the aromatic and palate, then what seemed to be some intrusive wood.

dark red color , at the beginning I thought it was Amarone , dark fruit , cherry , chocolate , full bodied with fine tannins , powerful wine. It need maybe a couple of year in cellar.
