Last had this in June 2021 and - alas - it is on the decline. Big time bricking, tons of complexity though, most all secondary aromas, some hoisin & soy sauce in the nose, balsamic, roasted coffee, dirt, camphor, just a delightful swirling whirling nose. On the palate, still well balanced and elegant, some black & blue fruit, decent well-worn tannins and impressive length on finish. Paired well with/grilled ribeye.
