This wine was in great condition. Cork in good shape and high fill level. Beautiful color. Pleasant aroma and excellent flavors. Will continue a few years if well cellared.

Pristine condition, at start very aromatic and intense, ripe and floral. Developing nicely in the glass after 30 minutes more tertiary aroma's came more upfront, dried cherries, herbs, earthy, forest floor, even some iron. Lovely texture and a great lingering finish!

Dark brick red lightening to a pale edge. Very strong but slightly monolithic aromas of sweet black currants, touch of menthol and cinnamon. More expressive on the palate, good acid-fruit balance. Tangy red currants and sour cherry, cinnamon, reasonably earthy-- long sour cherry and earth finish, with good acidic bite. Soft tannins. Seems mostly resolved but could last for years.

I was expecting a little bit more, soft palate and a little bit of cedar, could use a bit more acidity, as the night progressed the tannins began to show, revisited the next day and it was gone. Lacking in intensity. Ok, but not great

Bit tannic.
Not as fresh as the first bottle.
