Wine has lost any hard edges/alcohol and was very drinkable - but unremarkable. Was hoping that it would have a bit more character, but was kind of thin on the finish. Disappointing, not up to expectation.

Decanted 1 hour. Opaque blood-red. Prominently alcoholic on the nose with scents of horse sweat, pumice, cherries and earth peeking through. Overripe and unbalanced on the palate but with decent tannin and acidity. Pleasant and very good (just) but not special. I would have scored it much higher had the alcohol not been so obnoxious.

Bad. Aged out. Waited too long, lost our investment in some quality wines.

Good but not great. Agree with other reviewers on the alcohol taste.

Good wine but too high in alchohol content for me. Decanting helped.
