Raisin and dried plum dominate a vegetal structure. There's no place to hide, so deal with the edges. It goes well with any fare that wants to bark back at you, like overly acidic marinara sauce. If you want sweetness, go find a port.

Hot and stinky! Fresh barnyard nose that blows off to reveal leathery fruit. Rich and tannic with a slight linger on the finish. Woody and leathery, but not unpleasant. It's a beast!

Superb. Will hold for at lease another 10-15 years. Decanted 5 hours before consumption.

I haven't opened one of these in a few years and am glad I didn't. Drinking really well now. It's bold yet not over powering.
