The wine was decanted for 90 minutes then returned to the bottle for serving. There was essentially no sediment.
Eye: Medium ruby center to a ruddy-brick rim. The wine shows moderate bricking.
Nose: Mostly tobacco and wood. There are the faint remnants of bright red berries; cherry jam. A hint of cassis and blackberries.
Palate: More tobacco is paired with burnt caramel, and strawberry jam. More hints of cherry, plum, cassis, and blackberry. There is still moderate acidity and very gentle tannins. The wine is quite delicate and definitely shows it’s age.
Finish: Moderate length. Red berry jam, some gentle wood and cacao. Again, very delicate.
Overall: This is a really good wine that I wish I drank 2 years ago.
Enjoyed with Canard Au Poivre

Bit of mushroom on the nose. Mouth of berries and currants. Finishes dark and earthy.

In a really nice place, currants and berries over an earthy core.
