88 Points

Thursday, October 22, 2020 - -- cork pulled one hour before initial taste; decanted immediately before first taste --
-- tasted non-blind over a couple hours --

NOSE: very expressive; warm red fruits; hint of cola; rhubarb; crushed raspberry; smells pleasantly moderately aged.

BODY: dark ruby color with slight bricking; color is of medium depth; medium-light to light bodied.

TASTE: good acidity; hint of leather/funk; seems to be thinning-out a bit; non-descript baked red fruits --- seems a bit past peak, surprisingly; lightly tannic; 13.3% alc. noticeable a little; the Nose makes promises the Palate can't keep; I see this as already on its downslope. Drink Now.

50, 5, 12, 14, 7 = 88
