Very different from 3 yrs ago. Now, very strong and forceful on the palate, seems very alcoholic though supposedly just 13.5. Recorked and retasted on day 2 and day 3--to its credit, very little change, but on the other hand no improvements that made it pleasurable to drink. We finally dumped it.

Drinking tremendously well at the moment! I very very much enjoyed it! Ripe, blue fruits on the nose, a little spicy and very clean! The palate is rich, not overly complex, a little meaty, and rather substantial in size! A medium finish. I suggest to drink it within the next five to eight years. Realy nice!

A complete package, I'm particularly impressed by its ripe, jam-packed black fruits, a great finish! Please read my previous notes, thank you!

Extremely rich, lots of structure here. Big hit of acid, good level of tannins. Probably needs a long decant, was A+ with a rich steak dinner

Garnet. Nose opened with medium cedar, hint of black fruit. Taste similar. Drink over next 3-5 years.
