Crazy bricking around the edges. It’s held up well for a “crap” vintage. A little cloyingly sweet, but nice dusty cherry & blueberry without any real signs of being over the hill. Drink now

Surprisingly alive and youthful! Substantial sediment in bottle yet still opaque and very dark red; solid fruit aromas with wood and earth notes, no real hint of beef or leather yet; medium body with solid finish of fruit, quite balanced for the situation with some light tannin remaining; held up for a week with Vacu-vin and fridge.
