After an hour to breathe this is drinking beautifully. Good cherry, tobacco flavors w great acidity. Still has time left. Prob better with a meal then on its own.

Aromas of red cherry and a little toasted cedar. Medium body with a surprisingly decent amount of acidity. Well meshed flavors of cherry, vanilla cream, leather, and tobacco. Moderate tannins. Not that I've had many aged wines, but if this is it than I like it.

The label states that this wine made to drink in 21 years from the vintage. While there are lots of signs of flavor and structure now, I think it would benefit to rest for a few more years to integrate and smooth out.

Tasted blind. Dirty earth flavors and ripe cherry. Subtle old world tendencies.

Fully mature flavors of black currant and cherry. A little leather and tobacco. Dry finish.
