Cherry, forrest floor, and a touch of mushroom all show on the nose. Red fruit is fading but not gone. Tannins are almost fully resolved. Acid is bright and will overpower the fruit in the near future. Pleasant wine right now but don’t wait much longer.

Still drinking well. Color still red, Not showing brown or orange at the room. At first stewed cinnamon cherries on the nose with other baked fruit with eucalyptus and sage. After a double decant and an hour, the fruits were fresher, mostly cherry and currants.
On the palate, more red fruit. Very soft tannins provided structure.
Very old school bottle. Probably an aged version of its younger self; not better, not worse, just difffernt.
