Still a beast. Deep purple and no signs of peaking. Tannin still providing lots of structure with a need for 2-3 hour decant. This has years left. Had it with friends and will be looking to add a few of these as it will continue to get better over the next 2-3 years before a long life at peak.

First of two. Excellent. Slight eucalyptus on the nose with dark fruit. Color was excellent with no bricking on the edges. Still dark and brooding. Smooth with tannins largely integrated. 3.5 hr decant and it needed all of it. Cannot wait to have the second bottle.

One hour decant. Excellent nose that reminds of red fruit and a little spice. Drinking great but will be better in 3-5 years as it mellows.
