From magnum. Decanted two hours before service. Reddish brown in color. The palate is dusty red fruit with light acid. It's fully mature in this format, so 750s might be completely over the hill. Drink up.

Popped and poured from magnum. Served over three hours.
Medium red brown color. Palate muted at first, but the fruit started to come out after that. Decent acid and tannins. The primary fruit was tart cherries. I'm not sure if I let this rest too long and now it's going over, or if this was just a questionable bottle. I'll open another soon.

Consumed too young from magnum, this wine still showing the hard-edges of youth with some nice fruit hiding behind some pretty aggressive tannins. Not your typical soft BoJo at all.

From magnum. Nice nose of raspberries. The palate is still a bit tannic but with good flavors of cherries primarily. Medium red in color. Still in fine shape for a number of years.

En Magnum. Popped and poured. Drinking really well even though it's not close to mature right now. The fruit is still a bit masked by its youth, but you can tell the red fruits are there. At least another 10 years of life left.
