Short (1/2 hour) decant. Nose: chocolate, cinnamon, clove. Taste: boysenberry, orange, plenty of fruit. Some acids & tanins remain. Should be even better in a couple of years. Very nice!

97. Decanted 1.5 hours. Nose was slightly under-ripe strawberries. Taste is blackberries, cherries, a touch of acids (just right), tannins resolved. Beautiful wine. One of the most perfect MBs we’ve enjoyed. Luscious.

95. Beautiful bouquet. Blackberry fruit, then a coffee taste, with a vanilla finish. Really good now.
