This is lovely stuff. Very clear ruby red. Gnarly red and dark fruit with wild currants, herbal notes and great poise. Delicious and still fresh

Quite simple and easy, perhaps a bit more tired than expected.

This was a fantastic bottle. While big in breadth and depth of flavor, it carries it in an elegant manor. Dark fruits, glorious acidity, meats give way to saline, leather, charcoal and a host of flavors so subtle and numerous it would be a disservice to list. The finish sails on and cleanly disappears while you contemplate the emotions it leaves in its wake.

Amazing depth. Dark fruits, hints of olive and bacon and meat. Just amazing. This drips of pleasure and memories of times gone by. Wonderful lift to the finish immediately invites another sip. If it's the last wine I drink, life has been good!
