Camphor alcoholic nose on pop, totally gone after 2 hour decant, you feel the alcohol a little but it is very approachable and lush, I prefer these wines with some bottle age and this is a 10 year old beauty.

We had a bit of a debate on rating this one. It's terrific - so far above most wines - with amazing arimas of blackberries, kirsch, and a trace of iodine. The wine has a bit of a hole in the mid-palate - not sure where that's coming from - but otherwise it's fantastic with an evolving, pretty much seamless finish. Will probably continue to develop for a few more years...but why wait?

2005 from magnum. By his wine is in a great spot, especially after an hour decant. sweet and meaty. Grenache adds a nice punch. I think for my palate, it is in the hedonistic window. Balcony did not get in way at all. Great pairing with BBQ.
