Slightly dusty with mint and dark blue fruit. A little truncated but very nice.

Still very much alive in 2015. The nose exhibits an array of dark fruits with accents of barrel, scorched oak leaves and rich soil. The palate is medium side of full with great acidity framing the dark fruits and toffee tones. Decant this and turn off all electronic devices. This deserves your undivided attention.

Decanted an aerating. Needs more breathing time.

This one was in a confused place when we opened it, hopefully it comes back to the light.

The last glass was the best! High toned black currant, dark chocolate and almost Tuscan acidity... This bottle lived up to expectation and was a great partner for a giant bone-in rib-eye at Quattro!

To my palate this was a bit weird. 13.5% abv but it seemed overripe and had port like overtones. Very disappointing.
