Sunday, August 17, 2014 - Right at opening, this wine was a stunner. The nose was a stunner one of tobacco, mocha, and cedar. The first sip showed a cedar driven mature flavor with non existent tannins, followed by a tobacco and cedar finish that stayed in the mouth for a good minute. We were WOWED!

As the night wore on, the wine wore down allot. The finish seemed to fall off a cliff right at 10 seconds or so...The wine hollowed out, and left the moth with almost no goodbye!

Im afraid that this bottle lived fast, and is dying young (Maybe storage conditions from previous owner) Seems to me that this one is starting its decline...So, drink now, don't decant, and drink fast, cuz its beautiful.
