First off the bottle was corked. Second I decanted for a while in an attempted to give it some time to recover. High on the tannins & acidity. I'm going to say this opened up after 90 minutes but I was not a fan. To its defense it was corked. That's the only reason why it was a 80 & not lower.

I got a lot of bright cherry / currant aromas from this. The palate was a little more evened out with some earthiness, finish seemed short. Was expecting more.

Fantastic bottle. Had with dinner at the Fore Street Grill. Lots of fruit on the palate. Well integrated smooth finish.
