Key to this bottle IMHO is at least one hour of air. Initially quite closed with crushed rock and Worchesteshire with prominent tannins. After an hour of air, muted dark fruit with hints of supple leather and minerals. Tannins tame with air. This bottle is good but would drink up if you have this in your cellar.

Smooth tannins, good fruit, but probably only a few years left in the drinking window.

A curse on whomever wrote this was a steal and encouraged me to buy it 14 years ago. Oak water, lead pencil. Blech.
