This bottle seems to be getting a little long in the tooth, so I'll be drinking my other sooner than later. Still enjoyable and with a bit of nice aged complexity, but seemingly on the down slope from peak. Medium (+) ruby with garnet edges. Smells like plum, blueberry, violet, graphite, anise, curry powder, and other dry spices, and a little barnyard funk. I do enjoy the nose here. Medium (-) body, medium (+) acid and finish, with a bright, tart constitution, and flavors of sour cherry, blueberry, lemon, and black tea.

Such a deep and rich wine. Starts harsh and after an hour tobacco, cedar and ripe fig notes emerge. Really lovely for the price.

A mix of red fruit freshness with a chocolate and earthy finish. Nice overall, but tannins still a bit gritty and dry.

Sweet and ripe fruit with good balance and medium length.
