Dark plum and light oak aromas, with similar taste and resolved tannins after several hour slow ox. Slightly overextracted, but the mild spiciness would go great with dry rub ribs.

This was actually very good. It is finally balanced with currants, plum and toast notes, full bodied, dark, smooth and tannins are soft. Did aerate and decant. Initially was still a bit closed but opened up nicely after 2 hours.

Dark crimson. Plummy, ripe blackberry and cassis with a little sage and cedar on the nose; savory flavors really come through on the palate. Round and soft; tannins have completely resolved, making for a long silky finish. Pleasurable quaff at a terrific price. Enjoyed with NY strip. Probably not much left to happen from here, so would drink up.

Last one. This one is dried out and not nearly as good as it used to be.
