Surprisingly not showing any signs of age. Rich and robust with solid tannins. Floral notes backed by white pepper and cassis on the nose. Tart cherry, black plum and mocha palate. Medium + finish. Easily another 7 years of cellar opportunity.

4th Saturday Group brown bagger (M/M thelostverse): Aromas of black currants and dark fruit. Medium-bodied with black cherry, currants and cassis flavors. The alcohol shows through on the bouquet and palate.

Is this past its prime? Perhaps. Is it gone yet? No. Decant 15 mins. During and after chicken. Faint nose left. Little tabacco. Light fruit. Slightly acidic and black fruits. Hint of alcoholy finish with a touch of red licorice. Tannins are gone. Still really drinkable but the glory is mostly past. Moving on to the rest of 2010's that were left behind.

4th Saturday Group. Tasted blind. Opened by Rick. This comes across sweet, with black fruits and tannins still present. Guessed Syrah.

Juicy with some age. Past it's prime but still pretty god wine. Drink 'em if you got 'em.
