  Loads of stuffing. Tannins, body, blue/black fruit. Terrific presence. Rich and textured. Fantastic considering its age.

  Deep garnet with no overt sign of aging
  
  Opened one hour, decanted 20 minutes. Served low 60’s F
  
  Distinctive MLV shiraz on nose and palate, less blackberry than a pure shiraz/cab s, delicious pepper spice on finish. Would be hard put to distinguish cab f as second component
  
  Probably good for another 10 years, does not feel anything approaching 25

  Much more balanced than the 4/23/22 bottle. Sad that this was the last.
  Dense dark purple color with no signs of bricking. Huge barnyard and dark fruits up front. Tannins and acids are fully resolved with a sift mouthfeel. Very balanced. Some m0cha and peppers emerge on palate. Sweet foolish finish.

  Starting downhill. Big fruity nose---dark cherry and black berries with cocoa notes. Palate shows too much alcohol. Some wood and greenery.
