Still a healthy deep ruby/garnet color. I think this may have faded in the decanter as it was fantastic with the meal (decanted about 30-45 minutes before) but seems tired now. Aroma of baked black cherries with herbs, old leather, your grandfather's library and wood. Full-bodied, this is showing signs of excessive age. Drink up! (After a short decant) 89

Good over 3 nights. Should continue to be enjoyable for 3-5 years based on this tasting.

At peak but should hold for a few years - fruit is not tired.

Not as fruity/smoky as the last bottle I had from this case. OK but not what it should be.
