Monday, April 13, 2020 - Clear pale garnet in the glass. Decanted 3h (took longer than usual this time). Intoxicating nose of sweet spice (cinnamon, cloves), brown sugar, cedar, sandalwood (incense-like), stewed blackberry, fig and prune, leaf mould and tobacco (unlit cigar). On the palate, high tannin, medium body, surprising amount of acid for the age. Blackberry, black cherry, sweet spice and somewhat volatile finish on the palate. Not quite as complex on the palate as I remember the 2003 hence marked down for that.
