October 15, 2019 - I'd say this is past prime at this point, although I'm enjoying it just fine tonight, certainly due to my preference for bottles on the dusty side. In spite of that, the color here is dense and dark with ruby edges, and is that really hinting towards purple? Also in spite of that, this bottle improved with a bit (30 min. to 1 hr.) of aeration in glass and open bottle (no decanting) and drank well over several hours. Aromas of dark fruits (slightly stewed), purple flowers, graphite, damp earth, and crushed rocks. Light to medium body, medium acid and finish, with flavors of black cherry, plum, black raspberry, lemon, black tea, a drying leathery component, and a mineral streak. A nice aged spot for me, though certainly too far for others.
