Really nice aromatics and lively fruit for its age. Could've gone down much longer. It was up against some gripping Bordeaux and it held its own! Although this was richer, it was showing very well.

I had this over 4 days. It was powerful the first day (in a good way). Second day was showing its stuffing. Third and fourth days were amazing. This is going to be one of those wines that you pull a cork on and it's great for many years (20+).

Holding up very well. A savory, earthy wine that should please lovers of maturing Bordeaux.

I was expecting a lot more punch, but got a more old world style, quite dry and Dusty. Very enjoyable, but the tannins were a bit dominant and the fruit was subsided.
