This pours very light tawny in the glass. Heavy bricking. Nose is quite mature and tired. Autumn leaves, mulch, a whiff of sweet cedar, and dried lemon peel providing some fruit. The palate enters on lemon peel with medium tannin and medium plus acid. The finish shows some nutty character initially that become less apparent with air. While there were glimpses of life, unfortunately this never really came around. Despite being followed over the course of 4 hours, in the end came across as a tired old wine lacking life and character.
