Friday, March 11, 2016 - 2 hours in the decanter. Solid nose, raspberry, cranberry, chocolate, leather, paper, white pepper. The mouth feel is silky and lingers. Unfortunately the fruit has faded. The flavour is rasberry, pepper and the tanin lingers just long enough to let you know what could have been. If there was a touch more fruit, this would be good for a few more years and could have been truly great, as it is I agree with all the other commenters, drink now. A very pleasant drop with the right red meats, worth the time and space to cellar.
