Medium deep garnet ruby , quite thin garnet terracotta rim . This is quite classic and more austere on the nose after the 1990s , grafite , cedar, sweet spice , earthiness and mint. More dry and four square on the palate compared to the 1990s but enough stuffing to fill out. Cassis , plum and blackberry , coffee , grafite . Refreshing acidity , slightly grippy drier tannin. Sous bois , grafite , herbal character with good length and earthy cassis finish . This got better with time in the glass and probably should have been decanted . This shows there is some upside , from now , with time in the glass, and over the next 10 years. The wine that improved the most during the dinner , quite impressive . — 9 months ago

This got the bones but needs 3 years.
Nose: elegant cherry. Cherry flower. Still has pencil shavings. There’s some density here. But it’s subtle. Early stages of expansive. When the wood integrates should’ve very good to spectacular.
Palate: silky cherry mountain stream. Some pencil shavings. Young.
Floor is 9.4. Could be a 9.7 if it ages well. Lovely balance.
