  Opened one hour in advance. Rich floral aroma. Intense flavors of tart cherry, earth, leather, among others. Blackberry and licorice notes in the finish. Robust, firm backbone, complex. Just starting to open up at one hour. This is absolutely beautiful right now, but will likely be even better in a few years.

  Consistent with previous tasting notes - but definitely one of the best showings to date, with pronounced rose aromatics and a clean, silky texture. Ample acidity on the finish, drawing you right back for the next sip. Lovely.

  Tar, dark fruit and resolved tannins. Dry finish. Better than last time. Time has favored this and smoothed out the edges a bit. 89

  Still a deep ruby with just a hint of brown on the edge. Vibrant nose with plum and leather. Very complex wine with red and black fruits, tobacco and licorice. Still very fresh with lots of acidity and smooth tannins. Decanted for three hours and consumed over four hours. The last sip was the best
