This smelled great at first, but is rapidly starting to smell oxidized/stewed. The palate is somewhat fresher, but also showing that tell-tail oxidation/stewiness. If you have any left, drink up! Under the oxidation, there's pine needs and sour charries, sous bois and eucalyptus. Should have consumed 2 years ago. After revisiting this multiple times, my wife loves it and I'm definitely going to finish the bottle. If you have any, drink up, but expect to love it! 92

Surprisingly drinking well. Still has fruit and tannins but nicely integrated. Believe it had up to 5 years left in it (for a magnum).

Initially had very little bouquet but after 45 minutes notes of tar, plum, and cherry. Long beautiful finish. Complemented tenderloin beautifully.

Decanted for afternoon and it was needed. At it’s peak. Double magnum at a dinner party. Consensus was that it was delicious
