  55F since acquiring at release - clear black crimson - sweet flowers and dark fruits jump at Durand assisted corkpull of intact closure - always a good sign - ready almost billowing clean deep pure inexhaustible aromas of Agen pruneaux and drippingly ripe black cherries with a sweet fresh floral lift and a perfect espresso base all in a creamy velvety spicy tart lively verve-y vehicle.
  An outstanding example of the value of cellar keeping. Well-cellared this gem currently resides in a long apogee. Congrats to those who have gone the mile with this one. Hard to put numbers on wines and art and people,etc. but I put a big number on it as other examples - perhaps not dutifully cellared or with closure failures, etc. have apparently not been as well received.

  Last of a coravin’d bottle. Aromas of raspberry, funk, iron and cherry. Flavors of dried cherry, currant, earth and iron. Ends with a nice finish 25-30 seconds with cherry and earth notes. Still a long way to go on this but drinking great now.

  Slow oxed for 2 hours. Decanted for 1.5 hours. Aromas of leather, cherry, blackberry, earth and tobacco. Flavors of dried cherry, blackberry, earth, iron and mineral. Ends with a long finish of 30+ second finish with dried cherry and iron notes. Drinking very young still.

  This has primary aromas of blackberry and plum jam, fresh cut herbs, licorice and still present vanilla toast. Packed with flavor in a medium weight, bright and satiny frame. Works great with the chili.
