I was a bit tenuous, especially after the nose gave me "over the hill". It was surprisingly good, considering the community said that the end of its drinking window was 4 years ago, and also considering that we didn't cellar it in anywhere near optimal conditions. Ripe fruit, plenty of spice, balanced tannins. Short to medium finish. It was a cheap bottle, not stored well, but held up surprisingly well!

Quaffable, and true to bordeaux blend. Visually, held a surprising amount of pigment, and was a deep rich ruby/cherry color at the center moving to nice aged old world wine at the rim. Taste was not complex, not deep, but held the cherry and mushroom of old world bordeaux.
