  After having this in the cellar for nearly 15 years I opened.
  
  Still vivid but with tawny and almost brown color around the glass edge. Still features a raspberry profile with a tobacco leaf and bell pepper mid palette. Finish is more earthy with coffee bean and chocolate flavor remaining for almost 30 seconds.

  Dark garnet. Nose: plums, spice, vanilla, graphite. Taste: crisp, dusty tannin, plums, sweet spice, graphite. Finish: long, toasted plums with burnt caramel. Complex, held up well.

  Last wine of the night but it was from what I can remember, it was very good. Drinking great right now with very good balance.

  Decanted for under an hour. Great red color. Nose of dark fruit and mocha. Well integrated with smooth tannins. This aged to a wonderful wine.
