This was not “done”. I’m not a fan of older wines, but this still had fruit in the glass, and was balanced with that chocolate. Berries on the nose, with soft tannins and hint of tobacco and leather lingering. Aged well, and was not the “dead bottle” I was expecting based on the ratings.
Decanted for three hours.

The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are slow. There is light sediment in the bottle. It smells like black currant (cassis), plum, cherry, oak, cinnamon, chocolate and black pepper. It tastes like black currant (cassis), cherry, oak, black pepper, cinnamon and chocolate. The body is medium. The wine has silky texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has low acidity.

Still a bit of life left in this. Not a whole lot of vibrant fruit though. Dark cherry and chocolate - soft tannins.

Give it time to open up. Sandalwood and dried cherries. Enjoy now.
