  Brought to a local restaurant. Decanted tableside, consumed over 90 minutes. Note from memory.
  
  Just starting to show bricking around the edges. Lots of fruit left on this yet has loads of tertiary components as well. Dark cherry, rosemary, sage, leather and balsamic all interplay nicely. This is a mature wine with the tannins completely integrated at this point. Very harmonious balance across the tongue and it accentuated the meal nicely.
  
  CT drinking window shows it ended in 2017 yet the two bottles I've had in the past 15 months have been singing. Cheers to you who still have some bottles remaining; you're in for a treat.

  醒酒两个小时，有些浑浊的淡石榴红色，闻香有明显野肉的气息，些许酱味，话梅，以及橡木桶充分融合的香料味，入口酸度高，单宁紧致，颗粒细腻，酒液很咸，矿物感十足，盐渍话梅般的口感伴随着一点酱味，烤面包和融合的辛香料感，余味是些许的巧克力和胭脂香料。充分陈年的一款酒，适饮巅峰期，根据醒酒时间来说处于橡木桶影响最明显的阶段，以至于有些盖过其他风味，如果延长品鉴时间还能体会到更多变化。

  Backup bottle to a flawed different wine. PnP, gave 15 minutes of air, followed one glass over 45+ minutes.
  
  Starting to brick on the edges this was slightly cloudy in the glass. Nose shows dried cherries, stewed tomato, bits of soil and herbs. On the palate initial (right after popping) I felt this was too tannic. It absolutely opened up showing nice acids up front with darker cherry, dried leaves, and balsamic undertones. Nice integrated tannins that paired well with a rosemary lamb pasta dish.

  Fairly mature and nicely traditional. The pours fair dark at the core. Still friarly ruby with a touch of orange towards. The nose gently wafts dark cherry, leather, Rosemary, balsamic, and sautéed mushrooms. The palate has lush dark cherry fruit, with lovely elevated acid and fading tannin. Medium finish. Lovely wine.
