Decanted and gave it a couple hours to blow off some funk. Definitely in the aged wine category and drinking well. Leather and plumb on the nose. Big and round on the palate.well balanced. Won’t improve much. Long finish. Drink up with a nice meal.

Cold winters day, wanted something hearty. This fit the bill nicely. Floral bouquet over tar and tobacco. Dark cherry with lavendar and tar on the palate. Fair amount of acid up front but yep the neb tannins dominate mid to finish. Not harsh, just very evident. Solid at this price point.

Flott parfymert nese med blomster, herlig rødfrukt, kirsebær og treverk. Bra konsentrasjon,, og finishen sitter som støpt med godt merkbare tanniner. Legger på seg litt med luft, og frukten føles mørkere og mer intens. Har sikkert godt av noen fler år på rygg. Riktig bra vin!

Nice enough, but not worth the wait. At its peak or beyond now.

Nose of nutmeg, cranberry and pomegranate with vanilla cherry cordial. The palate tasted the same with a finish of mint and truffles. Very nice.
