Tuesday, November 10, 2020 - -- decanted 90 minutes before initial taste --
-- tasted non-blind over 2 to 3 hours --

NOSE: a bit fumey and "dark"; raisins; a bit earthy; not funky; not high-toned; medium to medium+ expressiveness.

BODY: medium-full bodied; sediment present; only the slightest bit of bricking --- this still has a youthful appearance.

TASTE: still tannic; medium to medium+ acidity; moderately hot (labelled at 15.0%); earthy/dusty purple fruit; very ripe, with some noticeable oak; not funky; not stemmy; honestly, I can't say this has improved with age. This bottle was cellared by me since 2010, when I purchased it at the winery.

50, 5, 10, 14, 6 = 85
