91 Points

Sunday, 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.
