Last tasted 1/6/17, oak is more dominate in this bottle, also more earthy notes, plenty of dark fruit, the finish is a bit harsh and dry. Still a very good bottle of VA Bordeaux style wine.

At its peak. Drank so much better than the last bottle. Everything is fully resolved with light bricking. A little aged funk. Finish a bit strange. Red fruit that lingers in a way few VA wines can achieve.

Fully resolved and heading south. A little bit of raisoning which improved with air. Tannins completely gone. Medium acidity. Not much fruit left. Peaked with about 2 hours of air and then began slidding down hill. Drink up.

Quite rich with complex blend of red and black fruit. Old Bordeaux nose and taste.
