Rusty orange/red. Subtle aromas of vanilla, spice, cassis. Mature flavors of cassis, currant, tar, leather with a complex midpalate and a long finish to very mild sweet tannins. Glad I cellared this wine as it is ready to dirnk. When the wife says "really good" for any wine over 2 years old, I know I have a special wine. Lucky to have one magnum left.

Everything is resolved, but it's lost some punch. Drink up.

Deep resonate cigar box and earthed flavours. Has developed extensively over the last several years. Should be enjoyed in the near future.

Ripe sweet plumbs and lavendar on the nose. Mild sweet tannins and good mid-palate. Enjoyable.

Rich and round, still tasting pretty young. Should be good for several more years.
