  Color, clear dark red; 1st nose, red fruits; 2nd nose, toasted oak and hibiscus. On the palate, smooth with balanced savory and fruits. Medium to long finish.

  PnP… Purple dark burgundy with some bricking toward the edges. Dark fruit, blueberries, slight cocoa powder on the finish. Very nicely balanced. Fruit in check with tannin and acids… a bit more linear another as round and hot as some recent CdP. Drinking very well but can hold another 3-5.

  Decided to double decant. Almost purplish black in color. Some lightening around the edges. Blackberries, blueberries, kirsch, shiitakes, and same bacon fat. Lots of dark fruits throughout.
  Fleshy and mouth coating, but with still being medium-bodied. Sweet tannins that have integrated, ending with a decent finish. This may have a few years yet but no need to wait, IMO.

  Smooth, still very fruit-forward. I thought this vintage wouldn't age out much, but it's doing well and has several years left at peak. A lot of kirsch, not the most complex Sabon but tasty and easy to drink.

  Tasted single blind
  Medium/dark garnet with very mild bricking. Medium aromas of red/black fruit with secondary herbal quality. Medium palate of ripe fruit, red/black. Medium(+) tannins and medium acidity. Somewhat innocuous compared to the others.
