Smooth and lush, with no discernable fall off due to age. Drank great the first night after a brief decanting and even better the next day as it really opened up and any edges were rounded out beautifully.

tom gives it an 80 though. basically too hot despite only 14.3% i feel like the heat is mostly balanced with some big fruit but the finish is definitely bitter and awkward. not sure if decanting helped or hurt and pepperoni pizza might have only accentuated the heat and pepper. would be good under $5, but at $12.99 at grocery outlet would not buy again.
