Nice nose on opening - classic "old Bordeaux" bouquet. First taste very thin on the fruit. After several hours, it opened up a little. Some more nuanced flavors, but no resurgence of fruit. Definitely past it.

Extremely vegetal, red bell and red spicy peppers, slight cherry fruit. I disliked this wine. Possibly heat damaged as I have had prior bottles that were 85 point wines. Still, life is too short even to seek out the "good ones."
