At tasting. Brief note. Nose and palate show mature notes of leather, cigar, serious baking spice, red cherry and soil. Feminine and lovely. Good length.

Opened one hour before dinner and consumed throughout. From the look of the cork, I would say this was a reconditioned bottle, perfect fill. Light brick in color turning translucent at the rim. Reticent nose at first but opened up to tart cherry and sherry/madeira notes of oxidation, modestly interesting. Light weight, again some tart cherries on the palate, but not many other desirable fruit flavors. High acidity with moderate tannins, not much grip, short finish. Moderately enjoyable, but simple. Definitely not for everyone and certainly not worth the tariff.
