Very powerful. Exceptionally long finish. I would love to see how this wine develops. It seems like we drank this one too young. Pretty hot, still quite tannic. Minty as hell to complement the black fruit it has in spades. A bit more new oak than I'd love. I would love to drink it in five years. — 9 years ago

Very powerful fruit. A little bit of herbal character beyond the black currant. Not powerful enough to be classic. Probably drunk a few years too early. Definitely not a classic vintage of a modern classic wine. — 9 years ago
