Wasn't sure if this would be good and it was a nice surprise. A hint of funk blew away within minutes and this showed a mature slightly tertiary profile. Interestingly this was much more elegant than in it's youth without any jammy characteristics or green tannins. It showed soft round and tasty flavors within 10 minutes and continues to drink well for about another 1/2 hr after which it started to fade leaving more of an acidic signature. Open and drink fast for max enjoyment.

The wine showed nice, with hints of chocolate and dried cherry. I was suprised by its depth and complexity. I wish I had a few more bottles.
