Decanted for two hours. Pepper and a hint of cherry on the nose. Lush palate with cherry and cedar notes. Finish has a limestone hit and the trails off slowly with the heat lingering. Drinking well now, won't run that much longer.

spice, leather, burnt rubber on the nose. very tight upon opening and even decanting, but after about an hour, this was really good...My last bottle of this vintage, wish I had more...silky smooth tannins, a little astringent on the back palate, but not offensive. I wish the finish lingered a bit longer, but over all this is a really good of bottle wine.

Better the second day. Has lost much if it's fruit.

Big and bold. Cherries, currants, plums, lots of dark fruit. Maybe a bit hot. I liked it for sure, but for the price...
