  My last bottle. Not decanted. This was still drinking well at 16 years old. More rustic than I remember from a previous bottle. Notes of leather and berries. 89 points

  Nice nose of cherry and mint when opened. After 1 hr decant, nose faded a little, but cherry, dark chocolate, mint and eucalyptus on the palate. Very fine tannins and just enough acidity to balance it out. Really enjoyed it with beef roast and veg. I would say drink up over the next 2-4 years. Also like the smoke grey bottle and unique wrap around label.

  No notes taken, but this was kick ass. Dense and vibrant, spicy and floral.

  Last bottle of the 1/2 case. Rich and juicy with floral notes. Less heat than earlier bottles. Continues to impress and clearly has years of life left. Better than the last bottle we had in 2014.

  My last of a case, this was really good. This note is really impressions only as I'm catching up on CT updates from past bottles - but very nice nose, hint of eucalyptus on cherry and dark chocolate. On the palate, tannins have disappeared the perfect amount for me, leaving a very nice balanced palate with long finish and the juicy acidity I remember from when this was young still there, but as they say, greatly reduced in circumstances... As a side note, interesting to me that the bottle is a smoky gray glass instead of the usual green/brown.
