Took some time to unwind & unfurl: showed copious aromas of black fruits, mocha, smoked meat notes, leading to generous mid-palate w/integrated tannins. There is clearly concentration here, great extraction without being overdone, ABV in check, pretty solid - not elegant or refined now, but has potential. A workingman’s wine. — 2 months ago

So smooth; all the GSM flavors, including cherry and some dark fruit. Not too earthy, which some might not like. — 3 months ago

Classic. Lots of nice berry flavor. Not much length. — 2 months ago
It’s such an interesting wine to me because it shifts so dramatically w age & air: at five years it’s drinking quite nicely, with a much more vibrant fruit profile than I’ve had w other bottles & previous vintages. Tasted blind my buddy thought Languedoc & quite jammy. To my palate not jammy as fruits more small berry & not so open knit. For some reason I’ve never seemed to open these bottles at the right time, save for now, which makes me think 🤔 m a damn poor judge or these bottles are finicky, or both! Quite refined & elegant, fine black currants & blackberries. — 2 months ago

Side by side with the 1989. Out of the gate this just showed better. Savory, dried herbs, a bit of leather and tar. But by the end the 89 was just better. — a month ago
