Opened and decanted at an Italian Steakhouse with my wine group. I had forgotten I had this bottle. We all loved it. I don't think it will be worthwhile to hold my remaining bottles any longer, as I don't see it improving. The fruit is definitely fading, and the spices are beginning to take over.

The wine had a little tartness to it and not as vibrant as I remembered. There are certainly a few more years ahead of it but anticipate a different experience than when the wine was younger. Still, a very nice wine with smooth tannins, dark fruit and a medium finish.

Nose: getting some cherry and strawberry Taste: some raisin and light fruit tones with cab franc giving it some glue to pull it together. A nice finish.

Both bottles had a musty note and flawed. Puchased from online wine auction website. Caveat emptor.
