  Dark berries in the beautiful bouquet. On the palate juicy dark berries, mild herbs, some celery as well, good acidity, slightly drying tannin and some pleasant bitterness in the finish. Pleasant wine. which is fully mature now.

  Showing better than the last bottle, but a bit over the hill still. Fruit is fading - there's a hint of it up front but then it disappears, leaving behind some interesting secondary notes of eucalyptus and vanilla, but the tannins rush in and spoil the balance.

  Over the hill for sure. Kind of flat.

  Very dark red color. PNP, drank a small pour over 30 minutes and revisited on day 2. This was the last of 3 bottles, and it was fairly consistent with previous bottles. The nose is really the star here, offering some very pretty ripe berry fruits, blueberry, plum and blackberry; and some earthiness. The palate has some brambly black fruits, dry, firm tannins, very earthy, loam, and a bit of heat. Better on day 1. 87+pts to 88pts. Fell off on day 2.
