  Another bottle from my Dad's cellar.
  Deep ruby with mild bricking, unfiltered
  Aromatics medium. Black plum, mocha, and cassis. Later menthol and some new oak.
  Palate has a medium body. Tannins medium +, on teeth and gums, somewhat sandy but have integrated well. Acid medium. Alcohol medium +. Black cherry and plum. Fruit driven.
  Finish has a medium length. Balanced
  Overall this seems like a nice 12-year-old bordeaux. Developing some interesting aromatics. Still plenty of fruit and structure. Can drink now or continue to age if desired.

  From 375. Open for two hours and decant before dinner. Mediocre, by which I mean not bad but not really worth the opportunity cost to drink it.

  Cassis, licorice, sage. Dark color but medium minus bodied. Smooth, well integrated tannins. Nothing offensive but not much depth of flavor.

  Medium body. Smooth tannins. Not complex, but good dark fruit balance with a nice acidity. Nice food wine and good value.
