This was good the first half hour on opening, but quickly fell apart. Stewed prunes, with a bit of bitterness balanced slightly by some hints of bright fruits.

Drank tonite with pasta. Dark purplish, ruby, brownish hue. Nose has a bit of a sherry scent, along with perhaps some nail polish. Lots of gritty tannins still, quite rustic & savory, black fruit, some coffee, leather & grilled meat. Tons of sediment in the bottle. On the old side for sure, but still an interesting pour with some enjoyable qualities.

Near the end of its life. Pleasant enough. The fruit has receded a good deal. But still some interesting savor flavors.

This bottle was the best of the lot yet. Decanted for 1+ hour.

Mixed reviews -- some liked and some didn't. Major amount of sediment...the most I've ever seen from a 750 ml bottle.
