Deep ruby core to ruby with slightly amber rim. Decanted 4 hours. Full body, high alcohol, still a juice bomb. Kurrant, raspberry, plum, some bevy initial pepper, all relaxing into a nice leathery mocha finish. Tannin for days in this one, let it sit for another 5!

Maybe it was just the bottle, but I received this as a gift from a loyal guest at my restaurant in vail, and was impressed with the gift, but not with the wine. Heavy earth, spice, leather, basically no fruit left, and I understand this is old Bordeaux, but I expected more.

Maybe it was the bottle, but barely any fruit left, this beast was leather, earth, pepper, and spice. I expected more from it.
