Opened this later than desired, but got good spice and oak on the nose. Beautiful color, plum and dark cherry were prominent. Finished well, tannins are there a bit stronger than expected but certainly within reason. Very drinkable, pleasantly surprised.

I always have trouble describing smell. Sort of a bit painty/minerally. Ruby/garnet in colour, well defined legs. still quite a bit of fruit and tannin but acting well balanced. Personally I like the way this one aged. Very drinkable.

Nicely outlasted the estimated drink dates. It wasn't still crazy after all these years - not complex - but very enjoyable.
