Monthly tasting club "The Tasting Club"; Better Bordeaux of 15+ years old (@ My place): Beautifully mature and expressive bouquet with rustic stable smells. On the palate juicy red and dark berries, sweet spices, sweet licorice, red currants, some bell pepper and vanilla. Fairly full bodied. Mature but still very ok to drink. No great refinement or complexity.

Had no real hope for this one, so what we got was a nice surprise. Decanted for 1.5-2 hours and got a serviceable amount of red fruit out of this medium-bodied wine. Felt like I got a good deal for an $18 gamble.

Dark fruit, nice spice, slight cedar, lingering finish. Some tannins. Good. Pretty enjoyable. Better with a couple hours. Decanted. Seemed to flesh out a bit.

Decanted for 45 min or so. Spice and slightly stewed fruit on the nose. Silky spice on the palate. Had with New Zealand ribeye steak
