Not completely awful, but definitely past its prime. Some wonderful forest notes interspersed with some slight vinegar and overly dried fruit. Was nice for an hour and then just fell apart.

Popped and poured, given age, with mesquite chateaubriand and frankly wanted to open a third bottle. It is the most awesome barbecue wine, not that anyone else noticed. But happy days, it lacks fruit, it is mellow woody complexity. Joy.

Complex, not as fruity as others described. Brambly, woody, really complex, not too soft. Found it quite excellent. With five spice quail, and dark chocolate.

rich and brooding, but not at all heavy, really intruiging flavours on the palate, a little acidity left, very good
