Took a while to open up. Purple berry fruits, olive, meaty with peppery and gunpowder notes on the nose. Elegant round tannins were still very youthful and grippy. Sweet cassis, pepper, olive tapenade and gamey flavors on the palate. High acidity and well-structured. Could have given it some more time in the cellar. — 6 years ago
Still some fruit and very pleasant but past prime. — 12 years ago


Silky smooth nose, velvety and soft, with forewarned black currants, just a LITTLE pepper, dark cherry and maybe a little pine forest floor? Some sediment and still grippy tannin, but starting to really loosen, with prominent ripe red fruits of dark , brooding plum, cherry and dark fruits, with hints of graphite, wood, and smoke over a still zingy finish. — 3 years ago
Just beginning to show edges of secondary, still young & structured. Savory, briar, leaf. Begging for food! — 9 years ago

Show stopper. 59 years old and still providing an amazing experience. Never faded during our tasting. Elegant nose and complex mouth with a long, lingering finish. — 10 months ago
