Visual: Very dark burgundy color, non-transparent. Unlike the last bottle, this was not cloudy at all. Great looking wine!Nose: A bit muted at first, signs of leather, dark earth and black fruits. Palate: Tar, black fruited, blackberry flavors, hoisin and dark earth with strong tannins.A nice wine that transformed into something somewhat short of magical. It got much better with time. Need to open the next one earlier. A/A-

Visual: Dark red color, but moderately cloudy, this is a bit concerning...Nose: WOW. This one is much nicer than the last bottle. It is rocking the nose with Leather, Hoisnin and other Asian spices.Palate: Asian spices, dark cherry, well-worn leather, great minerality with a light hint of forest floor and sous bois. This bottle was really rocking it. Much, much better than the last bottle. Solid A!
