My second bottle. I agree with some others: sadly a bit beyond drinking window. Most of the fruit has gone. Medium color, reluctant nose. In a blind tasting I might have been tempted to judge this as a Bordeaux. Palate is driven by secondary notes: cedar wood, a bit smoke, some vanilla. Quite elegant. Medium finish. Last bottle a couple of years ago was much more fruity. My recommendation: drink up soon.

Fading but still a lot of good stuff going on. Needed about 30 minutes in glass to fully open, and when it did, still has fruit and spices to offer along with smooth faint tannins.

Thought it was drinking nicely. Didn't seem OTH as others mentioned. Fruit forward, tannins resolved.

Sadly, this is just beyond its drinking window. Was still good, but faded throughout the night and a lot of fruit is gone. Drink now
