Notes of plum, tobacco, leather and something herbal- along the lines of dried sage. Medium-bodied. Plum, cedar and violet flavors. Still has some tannin to integrate but drinking nicely at this stage. 89+ pts.

Quite rich and sweet. Dark fruits. Great structure behind the ripe fruit. Lovely dark smoky oak motes. Long with developing complexity. Drinking now and will improve over the next decade.

I last tasted a bottle of this wine a little over a year ago. It’s pretty good. A bit less tannic on Day 1 than last year. It was good with duck ragout and after dinner on its own. It definitely still has some legs and I expect it will be more agreeable in a few years.

Really bretty....after 1 hr. really bretty, after 3 hr. really bretty. Down the sink...still bretty. The technical term for this bottle is...."It sucked big time"

Very funky. Blew off a little but remained.
