  Ripe and meaty delivering dried plum, blackberry and black cherry compote. Full bodied, medium acidity and plush tannins. Flavorful and well balanced. Very good all around. NI:4, FI:23, FC:8, B:4, L:4

  Dark ruby and clear. A touch of damp newspaper on open, but completely blew off after two hours in the decanter. As it opens there is tobacco, horse sweat, violets, dark berries and dust. Bone dry and quite grippy, dark cherries, cedar and a bit of olive. Finish is masculine and full of blue fruit and gravel.
  
  I agree that this is well structured and could use a few more years of slumber.

  This took 3-4 hours to open in bottle before it really started to sing, dark cherry, blackberry, pomegranite, violets, sweet vanilla, anise, cinnamon, clove, great precision and balance with fine gritty tannins. This could use another 3-5 years, but is so good right now with some time to open in bottle or decanter.

  Similar to last tasting. Big and bold, meaty and jammy packs a dense punch. Peppery plum stew with earthiness. Not subtle by any means.
