Ruby red with a dense center; rich aromas and flavors of cherry cola with some tobacco and dark fruit; smooth, clean, dry, medium bodied - no bitterness; clean long finish. Decanting for ~ 1hr helped

...very tight. It needed several hours to open up. It had aromas and flavors of plums and cherries with a little bitterness. It was very dry with a clean long after taste. The second day's tasting was better than the first.

Very tight. Camphor, rotting meat and plum on the nose. A little vegetal on the palate with some spice. Short finish. Tannins are not receding - will save some for tomorrow...

Beautiful color. I’m glad I let this one cellar for a few years, a lot nicer than the first bottle I drank in 2012. This is a wonderful wine.
