No formal notes - working from memory. This is clearly in a very mature and quite place. Perhaps past its prime - not sure. It was very easy to drink (after a 2 hour decant). Mainly dark red fruit, red licorice, thyme. I would drink up if you got any bottles left.

Mocha nose with hints of cherries poking through. Warmth of a worn leather chair. Sharp lead in with a bright, layered middle of mild cherry fruit, sweet/bitter/herbal tobacco smoke or garam masala, and a base of umami earthy mushrooms that just supports. Good sharp fruit acid on the finish but not the longest.

Drinking very well right now. Some sour cherry, leather and earthy notes.
