Drank with steak. Decanted for 90 minutes. Had so use strainer. Excellent wine but definitely showing its age. Still plenty of grape but becoming very subdue. Perhaps would decant a little longer. The wine looks purple colored. The legs are slow. There is heavy sediment in the bottle. It smells like blackberry.

ORANGE ON THE EDGE, RICH BERRY FRUIT, LICORICE, AND MINT IN THE NOSE. BLACKBERRIES, CURRENTS, AND A TOUCH OF LICORICE IN THE FLAVOR. MEDIUM LENGTH FINISH.

Very nice. Beautiful ruby color. Nose of red fruit and menthol. Palate of berries and cedar. Still kicking! Lots of fun.
