Bottom 2/3 of the bottle was heavily sedimented as if the pigment was falling out, with the top third very light in color. Should have just decanted the top third! Nose seemed promising but could get past the funky grittiness.

Perfumey nose of ripe black cherry, leathers, and varnish. Somewhat maderized and also austere. Soft on the palate with fully mature cherry and damp soils. Fascinating look at an interesting wine.

Excellent color and fill. Bacon fat, ash, butter, slight pomegranate finish.
