  95 out of the bottle; so smooth, then after an hour tasted more like a mature Bordeaux. First hour was magic.

  Garnet, extensive bricking with rim clearing
  Aromatics medium +. Bell pepper, old plum, leather, old earth
  Palate has medium body. Acid medium +. Tannins medium, integrated medium grained. Alcohol medium. Tobacco, vegetal, wood box and old raisin.
  Finish has a medium + length. Balanced
  Dry glass notes of pencil lead and cigarette ash.
  Overall, no fruit, all tertiary but interesting
  Drink now.

  Double Blind tasting
  Medium garnet with extensive bricking noted
  Medium plus aromas jumping out of the glass - really no fruit here but complex aromas of cedar/ leather/ furniture polish and tobacco with underlying dry spices - thyme/ sage - just a hint of oak notes remaining
  Medium bodied with palate of dried cherries/ currants and leather/ tobacco and cedar
  Medium plus tannins but completely integrated - medium plus acidity and medium alcohol - moderate length carried by savory notes
  I have a problem with aged wines - hard to call these when minimal fruit exists - I called old Brunello based on the savory notes but in retrospect the pyrazines remain, though almost predominately cedar at this point
  In any case, a great wine which was more enjoyable with time in the glass
  I would recommend drinking now
