Drinking beautifully. Bottle was sourced from an auction cellar in Cleveland. Pristine shape. Muted for first 15 minutes, the. Really brightened after about an hour. Good color, well-balanced, nice dark cherry, chocolate and caramel on the palate. Nose was vibrant throughout consumption. Store only had 1... wish they had more!

A darker and a much fuller bodied claret. Oaky and earthy undertones, with flavors of spicy black and redcurrant, dark berries, plum, and dark, minty, chocolate. Chewy and meaty tannins which seem to subside with decanting and pouring through a Venturi. Long, full finish with notes of expresso.

I wish I had more of this delicate, subtle, characteristically old-world claret.
