  Awesome mouth coating tannins with blackberry and cassis. Very long finish.

  These notes are taken after two hours breathing from the bottle, not decanted. Dark, brooding color with coffee and tobacco on the nose.
  
  Flavors continue with a complex, multi layered blend of coffee, cigar, and a hint of fig. Talons offer a dry finish that allow the flavors to linger for 25+ seconds.
  
  With continued time, the tannins soften further but the finish continues for quite some time. Really solid wine that’s in no rush but in a great place. 4.5 hrs after opening this is really hitting a stride; fig has disappeared and the wine exhibits a sophisticated elegance that raises the score to 94 or 95.

  Pop and pour. What to say other yowza! If I didn’t know otherwise, I’d take this for a 10 YO 2nd growth Bordeaux from a good year. Cigar, pine needles, earth, herbs and black cherry on the nose.
  
  An hour after opening this has softened more than I’d expect but is very easy to drink for a wine where the fruit plays second fiddle. One heckuva Wednesday, and until some socialist makes me feel otherwise, “God Bless America.”
