A bit funky on the nose with some cherry notes hidden there. Left it for 90 minutes and the funk had mitigated, but was still there. Bit sharp on the palate, cherry, tobacco, leather. The fruit isn't faded too much. Fine tannins, nice acidity and balance. Finishes moderately long with cherries, but a bit harsh. Past prime but not totally shot.

still holding in there, even from half bottle. Really nice red and black fruit, smooth and elegant.

Same as last time. This needed a decant but I didn't, and it was much, much better the second night, despite its age.

Was expecting much more from this wine. Seemed to be a bit past its prime.
