Decanted for about 30 mins. Hmm, the nose does not impress, dark fruits with heavy oak and maybe a hint of licorice. The palate is also dominated by oak, but this is not as fruit forward as I expected, somewhat austere, but with good cassis. Maybe this needs some more air to get going.It did gain some body with dinner, but this was a disappointment.

We pnp'd nice nose of dark fruit, the palate was berries, plums and coffee. A nice finish with a touch of mocha. This was the first red of the 9 bottles consumed at my end of summer bbq.

This was really good and amazing. Still young after 12 years. Cherry galore with layers. Must buy more
