A very nice blend, especially after a couple hours. Purple to deep red color belies its age. Smooth, full in the mouth, with loads of cedar, dark fruits and vanilla.

Cigar box is most prominent on the nose and palate, tobacco, vanilla, oak. Medium finish. This is probably the most bordeaux-like "bordeaux blend" ive ever had. Not bad, and excellent for $17, what a deal.

Not decanted. Some vanilla and savory meat notes on the nose, with dark berry fruit way in the background. Similar on the palate, dark, smooth and a little savory but a bit flat and with fruit almost nonexistent. Short on finish. Not tired yet, but somewhere in a place between primary fruit and secondary development which makes we want to put our other one aside for a while to see where it goes.

Quite good, quite serious but a tad too ripe. As it has aged it’s started to develop burnt sugar finish as it loses its fresh fruitiness.
14%, diam.
