  Decanted. Deep, full black-garnet color, brightly toned with a thin, clear-garnet edge. Aromas of black currant & black cherry fruit, with leather, pipe tobacco, clove, black tea and star anise. Blackberry and currant on the palate, cool-toned, open & ripe, with secondary notes of baking spice, cedar and paprika. Medium-to-full in body, refined density, moderately long, with medium acidity and thick, plush tannins, moving toward a medium finish of black fruit and anise. Still very youthful, nice expression of fruit with perhaps a bit more tightness to the structure than I recall from past bottles. Nicely balanced. Drink/hold.

  Opened for an hour (no decant). Consistent with previous note, still tasting very well, slightly less fruit. 90-91.

  Drank my other bottles too early! This was really good with steak. Rich dark fruit, but not overdone; tertiary notes of dried violets and leather. Still lots of life left.

  Blinded this on some family members. Almost everyone (5 of 6) thought this to be Bordeaux. Well done, as this was fully integrated and in a good spot and really spoke of old world. Everyone recognized the quality of this.
