Pretty amazing how good this still tastes Light on the nose and showing some oxidation in color. Light on the palate with dried fruit and medium light tannins. Probably passed prime but still very enjoyable

RWP #269 (@ My place): The bouquet is still locked but shows vanilla and some dark berries. On the palate a classical Bdx with cassis and some bell pepper. Not extremely expressive, but a good length with cedar, some graphite, green impressions and a good length.

Weekly tasting group #185; a mixed set of red wines (@ My place): Beautiful and classical mature bouquet with still some cassis, vanilla, green herbs, sweet spices and pleasant oak. On the palate mature cassis, some licorice, graphite, vanilla, leather, minerals and rose hips. Good acidity and slightly sticky tannin. The wine is fully mature. Probably wise to drink before the end of 2016. 88 - 89

From 3l double magnum. Excellent. Significant sediment.

Lush red fruits on the nose and palate. Full bodied rounded out by just right earth and oak. Probably at peak.
