1hr+ decant. Dark red color. Nice nose of cedar, dark cherries, and earth. Went downhill from there. Bigger tannins than expected with a tartness that overwhelmed. Minimal fruit and little depth with a near zero finish. Wasn’t over the hill, but just not up to expectations.

I had high hopes for this, but got lots of cigar box on the nose and palate. The cedar notes were overwhelming. Smooth fruit and integrated tannins. But too much of that deep cedar flavor. Decanted for 3 hours and no change.

Getting long in the tooth here. Very soft and round just doesn’t have the acidity to age.

Oak bomb. Definitely doesn’t drink like a $100 bottle of wine, maybe $35-40. Disappointing for the price

Good wine for the price back in the day, but I won’t pay today’s price.
