  Final bottle of six. This bottle was a magnum. Decanted over 90 minutes before the first glass. Good color though this has an accelerating bricking from my last bottle about three years ago. Aromatically leans toward the tertiary notes of dried herbs, cigar wrapper, tobacco leaf, leather, and dried fig. On the palate this is a savory wine that is headed toward retirement. The attack impressions align with the aromatics with just enough acidity to carry this through the mid-palate where a bit of pasty raspberry peeks through. The finish was brief and probably the most underwhelming portion of the tasting experience for me.
  
  No flaws with the wine and frankly a more enjoyable experience than I have had with other 2005’s. Having said that, with the fainting acidic backbone and resolved tannins, I probably wouldn’t keep this too much longer unless I had a lot of surplus cellar space that I could devote to gambling on a working class wine that should be enjoyed while it offers some pleasure.
  
  The remaining portion of the magnum to be consumed on day 2, with updates for any overnight magic or deterioration.

  Same as the last. It's in a good place and doesn't need a decant.
