This has been in my wine fridge for 6 years. I lost track of it, and just opened it now, not expecting much. What a surprise! Lots of sediment that we filtered out. Nose is subdued, tobacco. The palate shows great balance, gentle dark fruit, maybe blackberry, a little spice, a little mineral, and a little leather. A wonderful surprise, indeed!

Surprisingly mature and complex. No fruit to speak of, but heavy earth, tobacco, tar. Paired very well with a filet for Valentine's Day.
