Decanted for 90 minutes and consumed over 2 hours. Ruby red turning to brick red at edge. Shy nose of red berries, underbrush and spice box; got a little stronger with air. Medium body; red fruit, tobacco, and that spice box. Still lovely but definitely fading; drink up.

About the same as last time, but with clearer indications that it is past peak. Still, the fruit kept gaining in density and depth as it took on air over the course of an evening. Wonderful wine.

Wonderful blend that ages very well. Loads of tobacco, herbs, red berry fruit. A bit past peak. If you have this, drink up.

Victor's rooftop Tasting NYC (none corked and non cooked) (New York City): Too much funk for me. Sour cherries with cedar on the palate. Victors WOTN (as usual as it was the wine he brought) Victor said this is a classic Italain fans wet dream.
