Popped and poured through a Vinturi. Was hoping for more. Some black fruit, but utterly lacking in complexity or depth. Got this as a gift, so I guess I should not complain. Meh.

Very dark purple color. Nose is blackberry jam, oak, some vanilla, some licorice.
Attack is black fruit, then more oak (too much for me), licorice. Dry. Chewy tannins. Watery mouthfeel - much lighter texture than expected. Very short finish. Not bad, but not all that great. Very basic.

Great bouquet... Flat on the tongue though... Hints of certain items, but very unpronounced.
Perhaps a year or two more...

Almost non-descript nose, decent bottle, not sure if it's near its end or just an average bottle of wine.
