  Needed some time to breathe. A sharp vein of acidity through it that balanced the tomato sauce. Tannins still firm, will hold.

  Aging well

  Nice cherry and tobacco aromas, a little more tart that the previous bottle. Smooth.

  Similar to previous note, though also a bit more savoury elements and some funkiness on the nose. All still in the enjoyable category, but with more intrigue then I recall previously....

  Aromatics offer damp earth, mature dark cherry, leather, and sandalwood but the body is lacking density and depth, finishing with a woody spice, medicinal cherry, and a herbal streak.
