Very earthy, almost skunky nose that diminished slightly after serious swirling. The taste was not bad but not as good as prior bottles. The spice and pepper were gone. It was smooth but could be past prime.

Sweet tar and licorice, rich plum and coffee spice, I loved the earthy char and damp forest undergrowth that followed the nose to exhibit a warm juicy texture on the palate. Delicious and well worth the price, can cellar for 2-4 more years, but delicious for every day !!

Inky color, nice nose of berries. Hints of smoke.
