Restaurant purchase. Being from a bad vintage, this was actually a pretty decent wine. Deep red color with earth and leather scents and good blackberry fruit. Decent weight and density but finishes quite abrupt. I would have liked a touch more acidity and length.

Nose of dark, ripe fruit, dirt and leather. Austere tannins upon opening that give way to leather, tobacco and fruit in the mouth within an hour or so of decanting.
