At first a bit heavy on the oak. After 15 – 20 minutes that blows off. Somewhat classic nose of iodine, leather,. Nice sweet palate of slightly ripe red fruits. This was fine. Not amazing, but fine, particularly given its age.

Room-filling floral aromas, nice currant flavors, and good body with soft, velvety mouth-feel. A very nice, aged wine!

STG-Aromas of oak, cherry and fresh leather. A smooth body with tons of licorice.

Licorce nose, with cassis and caramel.
Great balance, black fruit, tight, lots ahead.
I was convinced that this was a QC. The nose seemed so obvious.
