Opened for about two hours, not decanted. Interesting color reddish-brown, a little more red than a madeira, mostly clear, just a hint of cloudiness. Deep nose of coffee and plums. Palate is a little thin at first, but gains texture and complexity. Not as much fruit at first, but fruit is very present on finish. Not sure I'd guess this was Oregon if tasted blind, feels more Russian River. Drinks very well today.

Aromas of a port, tasted blah and watery. Definitely held it several years too long.
