Blackberry, minor touch of spice on the finish. Earthy tones stronger fruit. Straight forward with subtle complexity.

I’ve had older vintages that were incredibly tasty. This was flat the first 2 days. Day 3 it’s started to show some quality and open up with fruit and a bit of white pepper coming through and lush mouthfeel. The quality is there, but I’d hold for another 5 years min.

Elegant and restrained with softened tannins. Fruit still coming through, dried cherries and dried dark fruits. Hint of oak and nuts.

Course soils from this part of the region provide earthy, herbaceous notes driven by a sweet, rich almost chocolatey tone. Dried leather and mild to moderate tannins on the finish. This bottle is solid but a good representation of what will likely be remembered as a legendary vintage.
