Despite 20+ years, cork was perfect, drew smoothly. First sip when decanting showed still had some tannic grip with solid fruit underneath. After an hour+ opened beautifully. Earthy, minerals, stone fruit flavors predominated over soft tannins.

Hint of fruit, lots of leather and age on the nose, smells alcoholic despite relatively low alcohol 12.8%. out of balance with high high acid and minimum fruit on the nose and palate. If you still have this wine I think you will be disappointed. I was. I left half of the bottle at the byob place

This wine is on the downhill but very good. A light earthy Jordan with raisins, molasses, cedar and light cherry overtones.
