Second and final bottle 2 1/2 years after the first. This was pretty fun and fresh out of the gate but seemed to get a little boozey after an hour. The 15% ABV seemed to prevail over fruit and nuance as we wrapped up the bottle.

Tobacco, soft leather, dried fruit and coffee beans on the nose. Opens up after 15 minutes to a lot of the same flavors on the nose but with a big tannic bight. Decanted longer and the tannins softened and more of the structure developed. Super long finish that coats you mouth. Really good for $20 Bordeaux thats 11 years old. Wish I bought more.

Good for the price. Sediment in decanter. First night was better than second. Tannins were soft but flavor was big and straightforward. Not spectacular but Nice aged Bordeaux for a reasonable price.

A solid wine but had trouble getting excited about it at this stage

Weekly tasting group RWP #355: Some random wines (@ DJ): Dark berries and licorice in the bouquet. On the palate juicy dark berries, sweet licorice root, chocolate, a firm dose of sweetness and good acidity and tannin.
