Pours a dark crimson with no noticeable bricking or faded meniscus. Starts off with a clear menthol scent that thankfully receded. What emerges is wonderfully complex aromas. Layers of flavors and aromas emerge. Black cherry, pine needles, slightly smoky and herbal. This has structure for days. The acidity has always been prominent in this wine but it's finally starting to integrate. Tannins are firm but not intruding. What a wine and a joy to drink. I will drink my 2 remaining bottles in the next 5 yrs.

Very nice. Tannins are not well integrated for the age. Still developing but almost there 3-5years at most. Has some fresh ripe fruit, but mainly tertiary notes: ripe cherry, earthy, wet forest floor, cedar notes and mushrooms. Goes perfectly with the duck.
