  This was still drinking extremely well, not even close to the end, but drinking perfectly now for sure - Very dark, full bodied with a nose of plum, blackfruit and vanilla toast, very viscous, with a touch of amber on the rim, silky smooth with a bit of heat on the palate with terrific length, beautiful, needs big red meat to tame this beast, but a really enjoyable wine. As I said, beautiful now, can't see it getting better as the heat is somewhat taking over from the dark fruit. Drink up, but no need to panic if you have a few of these beauties left in your cellars.

  Beginning to see brown tinges in the color. Soft tannins, notes of tobacco and prunes. Very well balanced with smooth long finish. Very nice wine.

  The bottle ended up with a cork leak that had closed itself. It would not have lasted much longer. It was surprisingly drinkable, but not noteworthy.

  Drinking great now but can age more. Some tertiary just developing. Cedar, nice fruit but not too fruit forward. Nori and sous bois. Nice bottle that will improve.

  By the glass at a restaurant. Lovely nose with dark fruit, vanilla, tobacco, and a pronounced amber that comes out time in the glass. Medium body, medium tannins with still a hint of grip, and medium to medium-low acid. Dark fruit on the palate with a cedar stripe that lingers through the finish. The nose was more interesting than the palate, but perfectly enjoyable.
