  Opened 1-2 hours then decanted before drinking. Running on all cylinders , a joy to drink.

  Drank over the course of 5 hours with no decant. Initially, the nose was very heavy on the tobacco/cigar box, but after some time it settle in. Cherry, spice, tobacco and earthy. Tannins have soften considerably and wine is easy to drink. Don't know that time is needed to help soften this wine, but maybe add just the slightest bit more of complexity.

  Firm. bright, crisp, and a bit tart offering an earthy, red currant, cranberry, strawberry with plenty of tobacco, cedar, peppery herbs and spice. Years of cellaring has added a lot to this wine, but it is on the stern, old-school, crunchy, classic side of the style range, which some will love, and others will not. Another 5 years of age could help soften the wine.

  Light auburn color. Cherry, earth and wet tar mixed with a banquet of red fruits. Bright flavors on the palate complimenting a silky mouthfeel. There’s likely some evolution to go on this wine, but it’s really lovely and easy drinking now.
  
  p.s. grilled chicken and green beans
