  This bottle was past peak, some peppery earth aromas, very dry, the palate shows the acids and nuances of dried cherry, plum, pepper and cigar paper, melted and easy,works well with food, drink now

  This was very like the bottle of a year ago and more simplistic (e.g. less leather, brett?) and more acidic than the discarded slightly corked bottle. Good though.

  Lightly corked. This was a shame because, without this, I think this bottle would have been rounder and more complex than the substitute of the same wine straight from the cellar.

  Really in a perfect spot, showing balance, length, complexity, and maturity. Unlikely to improve but not falling apart either.

  From magnum. I liked the attractive nose for it's leafy, bell pepper and black cherry/plum nose. This has medium weight and concentration with fairly pure leafy Cab Franc flavors, though there is a degree of funk from start to finish. No sense holding any longer -- fully mature.
