Showing much better than when I had this a few months ago.

Dark ruby/blood red in color. Notes of coffee, ripe cassis, clove, cigar spice, black cherry, and earth. This bottle was full of ripe fruit, and was quite approachable. Tannins still showing well, but not in the least bit harsh or detracting. Nice ripe fruit character. Little signs of age. Long finish. Needs more secondary character, but there's no doubt it will develop it. This has plenty of life left. 95+ pts.


So much wine.....so little time!!!

It has decades left.

Ya think? Eek

Serious question here: You had this a few months ago. Why did you have it again so soon?


Just one more sip.
