2002 vintage. Perfect fill and cork. Decanted and tasted multiple times over the course of 2.5 hours. Almost zero sediment. Medium body. Thrust/concentration initially all frontal palate with some transition to the mid-palate after 45 minutes. Finish throughout was left a bit wanting. Big tamarind, sandalwood, menthol (molasses after an hour in the decanter) and Fruit Stripe gum just before the flavors absolutely drop out early on. Some grape fruit wrap along with tobacco and leather in hour number two. Let's face it...this was opened a decade too early. Obvious pedigree in definite need of a 5-6 hour decant for those insisting on drinking this now. Revisit after 2032. 2.23.24.

Incredible nose of violets. Very aromatic and very charming with nice structure underneath.

An incredible nose. Deep, soulful, a super classy fruit bomb. Gnarly dark blue fruit and settled oak. Great intensity and length. Plush, velvety and long.

2002 vintage. Medium ruby hue. Rich and leathery, red plum, vanilla and cinamon. Sweet caramel. On the palate, medium minus body and medium plus acidity. Medium minus integrated tannins. Medium plus concentration. Good length. Very interesting. Not a power house, but enjoyable.
