A dark, muted nose. It is dilute on the palate, dark fruits, tobacco. Fully resolved tannins, acidity is a bit harsh. Moderate finish. Past prime, but acceptable.

This was very lean and sour when first opened, and an hour of air didn't help much, so I let it sit and tried it repeatedly over several nights. The second night was a little better. But on the 4th night, this had developed nicely, with the fruit and secondary flavors showing through. I have one last bottle that I may let sit for a long time.

Still going strong and starting to throw some sediment I'll be saving my last bottle for a special occasion.
