Drinking very well, good fruit, cedar, cigar box, saddle leather, tasted blind, most thought this was 20 years old, lovely, complex wine, exceeded expectations, $10.98 price tag, bought on release

Most of the fruit mellowed out, a bit on the astringent side for me, and not a very long finish. Nice to have, would not seek out or buy again at this point

PNP - good fill level, cork came out in one piece, some signs of seepage. Initially strong aroma of soy, barnyard, prune. Palate thin initially relative to big nose, a little tart red fruit, some menthol, kind of lacking in the mid palate. Maybe not the best bottle. Will try again in an hour.

Bottle was in great condition, and still fill up to low neck. The cork was soft, but still came out in one piece using the durant. The wine opened up after about 20-30 minutes of breathing.
Aromas of coffee, leather, some herbal and forest notes. No fruit left, no tannins. drinkable but not very enjoinable.

Bottle was in great condition — dark red almost black color, very little brick. Great broad composed tobacco nose and still some fruit on the palate.
