In lovely, lovely shape. Fruit and leather, tannins moderated, good acid. Very Good+.

Mixture of black and sharp red fruit, some farmyard, a little leather, smooth. Really nice. Excellent.
It took a bunch of air before the sulfur blew off but when it did this was balanced, mature-red, medium-bodied and good... but not great.
I'm glad I gave this last bottle a few years. It's fully open, and drinking beautifully, now.
No formal tasting notes. I do remember a mismatch of a robust nose followed by a subtle restrained palate. A steal for the money.
