Significant decline from last bottle 17 months ago. From magnum. Still chewy with dense blueberry flavors, but has taken on an acidic, bitter, vinegar-y edge. Past its prime.

Tasted from magnum. Tasted non blind as part of a vertical tasting.
Garnet color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of dried herbs, black pepper and cassis. Flavors of boysenberry, raspberry and cassis. Tart acidity, medium tannin, medium body. Drink now.

From magnum. Was afraid that it might have been over its particular hill, but instead, it was gratifyingly rich, fruity, and plush, without jamminess For me, the texture stood out the most. Only started to decline on the third day open. A winner & super value.

Fruit upfront; raspberry; cherry; some plums; black olive; short finish; overall easy drinking

Much better than last bottle with a peppery fruit balanced with spice.
