  Cellared since purchase. Starting to develop a slight brick tone, tho still dark. Black cherry, licorice, lavender, chocolate on the nose. After a few minutes the nose developed a slightly distracting metallic note. With more air, the metallic note morphed into a stemmy or floral tone. Smooth and fine on the palate with some sharp red cherry or cranberry acids. Would go very nicely with a juicy, fatty steak. Medium finish, smooth, ending with hint of oak. This would seem to have the goods to go another couple years, but likely is peaking now. Continued to improve over half an hour. Might be a point more, perhaps 91

  Fading. No more vibrancy but still tasty.

  Worth holding in my cellar for 5.5 years, really nice dark fruit on the nose, with old leather/pipe tobacco in the background. Palate was silky smooth fresh fruit. Being my last bottle, I will likely never know how this might have improved with the additional time left for a well stored bottle. Very,Very nice!

  Very nice again,duplicating my 7/29/13 notes. After an hour+ of being opened and partially consumed, I probably should score it 93, but I may be influenced by the terrific QRP of $20 delivered. I wish I had a dozen more rather than just 1.
