  Nice on the pop n pour but faded pretty quick. Dark with some fruit and medium complexities

  Pours inky purple in the glass. Seductive nose of Bing cherry, cigar box, and leather. Secondary notes of crushed violets, white pepper, and iodine round out the expressive bouquet. Balanced attack with flavours of cherry and forest floor, all supported by a vibrant acidity and velvety tannins. 30+ second finish on this mature and perfectly integrated GSM.

  This is in a really good place. Shame it was my last bottle as still will hold for a while, but can't get much better than the excellent wine that it is.

  A private lunch (Restaurant Librije's Zusje **, Amsterdam, NL): Deep but fresh, good definition, fresh and floral nose but with a distinct, spicy and porty note, velvety tannins, hint of warm evolution, good weight, juicy acidity, finishes with notes of cedar and eucalyptus, good length.

  In a great space, still.
  
  I agree with prior TNs: dark plum, chocolate, with meaty notes. Beautiful mouth feel; long, long aftertaste.
  
  Not sure this will get better, but no sign of tiredness. Deep garnet, so tawny brown might be emerging? I'll aim to drink most of mine by mid-2015 CY.
