  Cherry juice, dark-roasted black coffee, cedar, spices, and oak. Acid seems a bit high; not as good as I had hoped. If you have this wine, drink it now.

  Solid wine, certainly not going to improve with additional years.

  Really enjoyed this bottle - on pnp, the nose and palate were rich and opulent, full of fig, honey, cassis and blue fruits, and a bit sweet, but not cloying at all. Acid and some tannins provided great structure and balance to the wine.
  
  After an hour of decanting, the secondary notes of spice and cigar box started to emerge, along with mushrooms and forest floor.
  
  Glad I have a few more of these to enjoy!
  
  Paired very well with braised Duck with Prune Reduction!

  Nice fruit forward elegant mid weight. Mainly red fruits, hints of pepper, spice and a dash of vanilla from the oak. Medium finish, straightforward. Drinking now, will be better in 5 years.

  PnP. Was a bit hot at first, but that mostly blew off after 30mins or so. Beyond that, it was delightful. The nose had hints of green notes, but none showed on the palate. Instead, this showed raspberries, plum, cherry, spiced vanilla, orange peel, crushed rock, and hints of menthol. Good long finish. Tannins and present, but balanced. Definitely has more life left, but drinking well now.
