Still a bright cherry red with no fading at the edges. A pleasant spicy nose. Bright cherry fruit, soft tannins, decent acidity. Finishes moderately long, but not with a lot of style. At this point it's still a nice quaff, but only an echo of what it might have been a few years ago. Overall, it's held up well for a 19 year old.

40th Anniversary Magnum Party; 6/3/2017-6/4/2017 (R&D's): From magnum, leftover from the prior night. Showing significant improvement from last night. Aromas of blueberry, pepper and perfumed floral notes. Flavors of cherry and macerated red berry fruit with Asian spice qualities in the finish. This has developed nicely overnight.

40th Anniversary Magnum Party; 6/3/2017-6/4/2017 (R&D's): From magnum. Opens with a nice meaty aroma, with dark fruit and herb notes as well. Fully resolved. Nice dark fruit flavors that turn just a bit stewy in the finish. Peppery spice qualities linger.

Subdued by very well-balanced. Drink now as the fruit is dropping away- in a good way at this point.
