Wow, I didn't expect this. Lush, medium+ bodied wine with smoked raspberry, tea and dark cherry. Firm tannin and zingy acidity. Plenty of secondary notes, with just a hint of oxidation. Supposedly past it's prime, I'd say it's hitting a great drinking window now, with a few years left. This bottle was constantly changing in the glass and was very food friendly.

Astringent and past its prime - may have been flawed

Awesome bottle for the price. Fairly simple aroma profile but some weights and aging nicely. Very good now through 2020 if stored at 56 degrees.

Not as vibrant as the last bottle. Still acceptable.
