Gifted and opened for two friends who turned 50 this year. As one of the husbands pointed out, it had a Madera quality to it. Definitely aged, but with appealing caramel on the nose and the front of the palette, before settling into tertiary flavors and a surprising bit of acid. Aged nicely, like our friends.

Slightly murky medium red. Very tarry, celery seed and plum nose. Nice aged earthy plum flavours and a very nice balanced finish.
Held on in the glass for an hour. Impressive.

Great color for its age, shows brown sugar/caramel and some tarry notes, changes rapidly in the glass but all the directions are good.
