  Cool to the nose. Dark ruby, opaque.
  
  Nose varied first hour then settles down. Autumnal, leaves, bright ripe cherry, earthy and fungal. This nose is clean, and allows for individual scents to be noted. That bright cherry shines through. Chalky.
  
  Palate is a little flat, slightly sour, touches of tart cranberry, low tannins on side of the mouth. Missing it’s mid palate, does have a savory saline finish that lasts. After a few hours in the decanter, mouth becomes lush, drenched cherry, soil.
  
  Great nose, ok palate. I’ll see if it changed over the next 4 hours. ( in a wide mouth decanter)

  Color: Ruby with light bricking at the rim
  Smell: Manure, decaying flowers, dehydrated red fruits, and sawdust. This is a nose that reminds me a bit like a NIN video where everything seems to be in decay or smells like something you might find in an old antique store lost to time.
  Taste: Red fruits & pirazines dominate the palate...this is smooth and ready to go. Tannins are resolved and there's just enough acidity for food.
  Overall: This is medium body, medium acidity, medium fruit, and the tannins are fully resolved...it's ready to go. If you have have any in the cellar...crack a bottle and start drinking them every 4-6 months until they're gone. Excellent

  Fruit has faded. The nose has green pepper notes that remind me of a younger wine. The tannins are dominating the fruit, but everything is smooth. I doubt this will get better.

  This bottle had a bit of funk in the aroma and initial taste but it dissipated. After that, the wine was very nice. However, on the second day, the remaining half bottle showed negative signs of age. In my opinion the vintage is at the end of its road.
