Surprisingly fresh and solid; still fruity and carrying some tannic weight, smooth and balanced with adequate acid and fruit to work together. Not showing any signs of beef bouillon or leather so far. Some sediment remained, so it had some preservation; Dark garnet to the edge - 3 Fruit and wood - 11 medium fruit with a little tannin to give it some body - 12 I like it still. - 3 I expect I lucked out and it will turn quickly but "not yet dead"

Medium to full bodied, ruby color. Spicy and smokey, dark berries and some hints of cigar box and leather. The nose was good but I did not like the palate -- the spice and alcohol seems over powering and out of proportions.

Very good with steak dinner. Secondary characters are present, softer tannins and well integrated.
