Dark opaque red color with a hint of blood orange-red at the rim. Initial nose of black fruit without the benefit of time in the glass-relinquished bouquet. Rich silky mouthfeel with supple flavor of luscious fruit stored in tight grained French oak that was previously soaked in vanilla. Watching Dunkirk and looking forward to sirloin steaks and drinking this delicious beauty tonight. Flavors extend throughout the complete palate with a sweet vanilla component lingering as the hedonistic fruit eventually becomes a sweet memory. Perfection. Second night: Sweet, smooth and delicious, wishing this bottle had been a magnum.

At fourteen years, this was starting to show its age and was losing its fruit, giving way to non-fruit character of green pepper, leather, wet wood, earth and hints of cedar and floral.

Bordeaux-like characteristics. Earthy, slight bell pepper. Fruit a little muted on palate. Interesting nose. Probably won't get any better so drink.
