Smooth, rich, initial sour cherry on nose. That is entering the rarified air of Really Good Wine, with which I hope to become more acquainted. Long finish, plenty of fruit, a little spice. It had an interesting glass stopper with a rubber gasket, that apparently worked quite well! Has more time.

Some darkness inthe glass
Decanted two hours
On palate, smooth and fresh with a bramble bite on finish. Nicely balanced despite 15.1%abv
Glass stopper is keeping this well, potentially another 5-10 years

Lots of tar, leather and tobacco up front. Still retaining lots of tannins. Dark brooding currants dominate.

Served before dinner with some prosciutto and mozzarella appetizer. Absolutely smooth, layered and good fruit on the front. Long finish
