Fun to compare with ourselves from 7-years back! This was purchased in 2012 (2nd bottle 50% off from first). Our collective sense is that it is better from the aging. Classic style, modestly tannic, excellent and long aftertaste. Almonds, forest-floor, smoke, raisins, mocha -- brings back positive associations --

Pnp. Very good out of the gate, and got better over three hours. Smooth, complex, rich. Just a beautiful wine drinking great right now. It appears to have a long life ahead.

Cherry and tobacco smell with overtones of woodlands, almodns, smoke, earth and licorice. The taste is complex and strong, with black cherries and velvet. I felt it as round with silky tannins. The 2nd night a sense of almonds became stronger. The color is very dark, but not yet opaque.
