August 4, 2014 - The cork was dry and disintegrated, so this was decanted to filter out cork fragments and for sediment.
This is still drinking nicely. No significant bricking, but it's drinking like a mature wine, with integrated tannins still ample enough to provide structure. Flavors are integrated, too, with black fruit supported by leafy, cedary notes. Shows nice balance thought the finish. Drink in the near term, it won't improve, but should be ok for a couple years.
Delicious.
