  What a difference a bottle and 18 months make! In January of 2020 I would have sworn this would be drinking well for another 3 or 4 years. Not so much. Best of the three vintages I tasted (’03, ’05, ’07) but not impressive. Reddish brown color. Slightly floral, cherry nose. Decent cherry fruit, bit of spice. Nicely resolved tannins, good balance. Definite heat. Finishes long but a bit hot. Not bad but still past peak.

  This wine has aged beautifully. Dark cherry and anise on the nose. Ripe full fruit, nothing faded here, but layered with age. Dark cherries, anise, hints of dark chocolate. A burst of bright red fruit on the mid-palate. Smooth tannins perfectly balanced with acidity and fruit. Finishes with good length, dark fruits, sharp spice. This can go for another 5 years.

  Moderate body, good without being crazy. Silky smooth, strawberry and cherries.

  Very pleasant surprise. Bouquet while decanting led me to believe likely flawed or will past its prime following 3-hour decant had opened up nicely. Distinct tobacco notes with ripe fruit on the finish.

  Unfortunately, not great. Very flabby, not bright and flavorful. Drink now.
