Still maturing at 11 years, but very drinkable. Oak is still a bit strong, but not dominant. Well integrated and pleasurable with a dry mouth finish. Tasted of dark cherry, tea leaf, and tobacco

Decanted for 1hr and returned to bottle 2 hours prior to service. Clear with moderate amount of very fine sediment. Dark purple w/deep ruby edge, no sign of bricking. Long stained legs. Rotten cork which initially showed in the taste but blew off with time. If not for the cork, this would age years yet as the tannins were still pronounced at the finish. Full throttle juice with no rough edge up front and middle with some firm tannins. Very long finish. $60 winery direct.

Plush fruit with balanced structure and mature flavors. Nice mouthfeel with long length and pleasant finish.
