plenty of sediment must be strained, good balance plum and smokey flavors, allow to breathe at least 30-45 min. Will probably not get better so drink up stock.

Haven't had this for over two years, bought on a closeout at $19.99 at the time. Lots of sediment around the cork upon opening. Beginning to show its age and get a little heavy but still starts out tight and dry. Very concentrated flavors of dark berry fruit and plum, cassis & black currant. Still pleasant to drink and improves some with about an hour of air. Have one more bottle and will finish up soon, as good as it is going to get.

delightful on the pop. No signs of fading, but didn't improve with air. Drink up.

Wood very prevalent as well as a smoky, dusty profile. Good structure & backbone. Fruit in background.
