Tasted 10/14/16. Deep color, subdued nose,on the palate,a combo of black fruit, dark plums & some licorice, this bottle was OK, previous bottle was corked. The wine I would say, is at peak, and holding, the fruit is at a point to notice, but will be gone in a couple of years . Overall, I did not expect to be very good, but it drank well and was enjoyed.

Held up fairly well, cedar notes,it shed its tannins,on the palate with slight raisiny over notes , but a medium lasting finish. Was decanted, and stayed consistent throughout the meal without loosing consistency. It may hold up another year or two, depending on your taste.
