I love this wine. Has now reached full maturity. Decanted for about 90 minutes. Great nose with lots of dark fruit. Moderate acidity and good mouthfeel - still quite some tannins left. The taste lingers for many minutesss. Two bottles left and will drink them over the next few years.

Woah….needs a 2 hour decant to really open . Phases in and out of being closed to expressive: Didnt decant and let breathe in the glass only …last glass was the best . Cherry core, deep blue berries, currants , hint of anise and tar, long finish

Aromas of blue fruits immediately upon opening. Burnt wood, tar, cherry on the palate. Big wine. More heat on the finish than I remember from last bottle.

Flowers, cherries, tar... a little hollow/watery in the mid palate...other than that, really amazing.

Dark, opaque purple color. Black and red fruits, smoke, coffee notes and some baking spices. Big wine, yet still coming together.
