What an unexpected treat! Perfectly balanced fruit and tannins, some good merlot spice, and just kept getting better over two hours of decanting. Paired wonderfully with pork and a pretty spicy salad. A welcome and unexpectedly great bottle.

In great shape. Earthy; lead pencil; rich fruit - red berries; soft finish.

Holding up very well. Still a couple of good years left, at least.

Still a very good, smooth accompaniment to lamb.
