Medium red color, with a nice brightness to it. Some bricking around edges. Earthy and oaky nose. Palate rather shallow and thin. Some tannins, but somewhat smooth and mellow mouthfeel. Some oak, maybe a little leather, raisins, slightly stewed fruits. Not flawed, but showing its age.

Still lots of life left. Color deep purple. Nose of cedar, lead pencil. Pallet tight at first, then evolving. Showed earth and tannin to start. The evolved to show a good amount of fruit. After a couple of days, it still had some fruit left. Blueberry and leather. Can last.

Not bad. Aging, but still interesting characteristics. Dring remaining bottles soon.

Pretty moderately dark purple color. Nose of earth, tobacco, leather, tar and oak. Pallet of plum, slight lead pencil, licorice, tannin. Interesting.
