after a two hour decant: Inviting nose, indicating a sweet wine. Mouth of sweet cherries, with some acidity remaining, some alcoholic heat. Not overly complex but long lasting. Does not evolve to 92-93 as I thought three years ago, but that relates more to my preferences shifting to less powerful wines with lower alcohol.

Tasted blind. Heavy on animal flavours, wet dog (not in a bad way), ripe fruit ,some menthol. Mouthcoating tannings. Full body but balance is not ideal and lacking a bit acidity to scale back the other levers.

fully mature now. Nicely balanced dark cherries, some hints of age on the nose.
Slowly finish up any remaining bottles.
