  Tasted over-oxidized. Cork seemed ok.

  I let the other bottle sit and age for 5.5 yr before opening. Probably a year too long. Tobacco and earthy boysenberry cola notes. Red fruit dominant. A little bit more than I expected on the aged red fruit palate. Started with red and black fruit tart, nose of aged red and black fruit and black tea leaf. Palate echoes the nose. Finished with white fruit and pipe tobacco. Enjoyable wine but definitely starting to snow some secondary mushroom notes. Different palate vs 5 years ago fo' sho'.

  Medium garnet with slight clearing at the edges. Full, forward & fragrant nose of ripe fruit aromas of cherries, strawberries & plums with overtones of floral notes of roses & earthy/dusty notes, anise, tobacco, minerals, herbs & a hint of cedar in the background. Medium-full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of cherries, cranberries & plums with herbs, spices & a minerals. Lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present & even at 12 years of age, it has the potential to develop further with additional aging.

  Drinking very nicely now, but will probably develop a bit more. Gave it a short decant. Tastes of dark cherries and earthiness. Very clean and refined. We didn't finish the bottle the first night and three days later we regretted it. It was drinkable, but nearly as good.

  Similar to last tasting note but more in its prime drinking window.
