Still pretty sharp and angular, but showing some lovely nuance. Wild mushroom and firm structure. Falls apart a bit because of its youth. Slightest bit of bitter espresso. Sweeter cherry prevalent on the palate with food.

Disappointing for the price point + 8 years in the cellar. It was fine - red fruit, honey, a little black pepper - but muted and monolithic.

Ripe red with some blue fruit. Red flowers. Good lingering finish. Somewhat candied ripe. Well balanced. 36th birthday wine.

Raspberry, cherry and cranberry fruit. Hint of coffee and wild mushrooms. Smooth tannins with balanced acidity. Easy drinker.
