This sung early on- tobacco, spice, cedar and a heady/liqueur thing that has been a consistent note in many 66s. It's soft and past mature, but nonetheless a very nice wine.

Obtained recently for about $50, I thought I'd give it a shot. The bottle was stood up for about a week and decanted for sediment.
Brown-red color with clear edges and an opaque center. The nose has some kirsh liqueur, rich wood, and earthyness. The palate is medium-bodied. There is still some lushness with a deep fruit side and some leather, but there is definitely tiredness here. The finish is nice, no real tannin and the acidity is pleasing.
I can't complain about this wine- to me this is a hit for the $$, and my first 66'.
