In spite of perfect storage condtions, this one did not make it. Bad sneakers on the nose. No chance of improvement. Decantation, did not help. Down the sink.

No decantation. Ruby red color. Nose: Sweet red berries, violets, leather, spice (muscat/white pepper). Very pleasant, mature, masculine and inviting. Taste: Warm, slight tannin, oak, earthy, velvety, blueberries. Verdict: Excellent price performance, competes easily with more expensive wines. Full body. Probably a good fit with game; venison even grouse. Drinks well now, but will easily improve over the next 3-5 years.
