In my last note about six months ago, I said that I thought it was on the downhill slope, but this bottle has changed my mind. Great fruit nose, still a good amount of fruit on the palate and a decent finish. This bottle was really good, perhaps the best yet!

Oak dominated nose, big vanilla and caramel notes, but also some nice ripe black fruit. Intense. The mouth was silky and full, ripe black fruit, some spice. Straight forward but smooth, the tannins and acidity in perfect balance with the fruit... Had the treatment of the american oak been a little lighter this wine would've scored higher for me. Good nevertheless, and holding up well.
