SF | Deep color; powdery, dark fruit, evolved and gamey, the tannins very much in control; needs rich, gamey food, and even then may still assert too much. 88
AR | Shading to garnet, but still with some garnet at the rim of the glass, this is still surprisingly fresh in aroma, and while it delivers some pleasingly savory, maturing, dark-fruit sweetness, it maintains its freshness and tapers nicely to a savory, albeit dry and slightly dour, finish. 88
DW | Dusky blue and black fruit, laced with a cherry-ish acidity; chewy tannins, still firm after eight years of age; a cassis liqueur-infused finish. 89
