Decanted for an hour and drunk over another couple of hours. Quite bright red in colour and medium full body. More red fruits than I’d expect, Some savoury developement,Younger tobacco and leather. The freshness improves over time. The finish is a bit short, enjoyable.

Mostly agree with JK2 - underwhelming bottle of aged juice. Furry tannins with overripe jammy fruit...stewed plums? Still very enjoyable, but not worthy of the $30 asking price...much less the original asking price of $80!

A little vanilla oak on the nose. Not getting much fruit on the palate just a little dark fruit with a lot of acidty, then bitter tannins dominate the finish. Not very pleasant, disjointed, and given its age I dont see it coming together.
