Got this as part of a mystery case and had no idea what to expect. Touched the cork and it fell into the bottle. Decanted, not much sediment. Tasted a bit dank straight out of the bottle, but soon opened up, moving from raisins to dark fruits. Really delicious, a very pleasant surprise.

Started with some funk on the nose, and a bit on the palate as well. Almost no fruit left and very earthy/dusty. Certainly past prime and nearing the point of non-drinkable. But for now it still has a decent enough flavor and a solid backbone. If you have any left, drink it now. Still have 1 left in storage...it'll be among the next boxes taken out.

The wine looks purple colored. The legs are slow. There is heavy sediment in the bottle. It smells like cool/menthol, prune and lead pencil. The body is medium/full. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has high acidity. Seems just past it's prime.
