May 19, 2019 - After a few hours open this is really hitting its stride. Some nice tart cherry notes, with earth and leather. This is drinking really nicely. Not amazing, and as others have noted I am not sure it will improve, but it is not dead by any means either. The nose has that lovely mushroom that I associate with older wines, with notes of forest floor and tart cherry. There is some slight bitterness and heat on the finish, though not in a way that takes away from the lovely journey that precedes it.
Interesting side note. I think if I tasted this blind I would rate it lower. Given that I know what it is, including how old it is, I feel more generous in the score. -

March 31, 2019 - Still alive
Terrible cork quality, with seepage.
High shoulder fill.
Smoke, with still some primary secondary flavours of cherry. Medium plushness.
Drink up, can hold longer but no upside expected. -

March 10, 2012 - On the nose, I found sweet ripe cherries in damp earth, undergrowth, tomato leaf, and moist fall leaves. On the palate, it was juicy with dark red fruits and tealeaves; an acidic and bitter note came forward toward the close, but didn’t interfere. The finish was medium-long with sour red fruits and buzzing acidity.
