Straightforward , fruit forward, simplistic, plum, leather, oak. Delicious… Pop & pour. Drink it's not going to be a cellar dweller.

Opened Friday night and revisiting today. Blackberry, blueberry, black plum, creamy raspberry, cinnamon, star anise, vanilla, roasted nuts, touch earthy and toasted oak. Surprising stunner. This good now but you'll be largely rewarded for holding another 5 years.

Took a little bit to open up but when it did it was a nice pairing with Beef Wellington. Med-big body, long finish, gentle tannins

Been awhile since we opened one of these. Popped and poured with good results. Cloudy violet, strong nose, good balance and a nice long finish tonight. This is probably peeking right now. Last 3 bottles to disappear soon.

Disappointing. I have another case of this but it may be nearing its end. Minimal nose, no fruit. Long finish with easy tannins is still nice.

Still young. Tasty but not like 2005 or 2007. Not as much complexity or integration.
