Definite bricking in color, with the accompanying nose and slightly smokey taste of a 15 year old CNP. Did not decant as I was at first afraid it might die. But we had two bottles that were delicious. Quite a bit different from the last time I had this perhaps a year ago.
It went great with our Thanksgiving dinner.

much better than the last couple of bottles but unfortunately my last. needed about 30 minutes to come around after opening. a mature full bodied wine with a nose of forest floor and tobacco with a slight hint of red fruit.

This bottle surprised me... It was very fruit forward with solid tannins and over all a nice bottle.

FLAWED BOTTLE - Bad out of the bottle. Gave it a chance with 8 hours decanting, only got worse
