  Further to my Note of June 24, '19: Consistent notes, though enjoyed more fruit with this one, albeit very mature. Good with savory food. Still notable with no reason to wait longer.

  Bought 6b from WinEx for 20/b 12 years ago. Decanted with heavy sediment for its age. Dark ruby, almost opaque; some leather and tea, muted red fruit, some of initial funk blew off; with reduced funk, some rich mature fruit but past peak, still enjoyable. Stored horizontally in a cool, dark basement since purchase. My evaluation: I've stopped giving scores on a "100-point scale" as I've become less convinced that they can be meaningful to others. I use a 4-category scale (perhaps with +/-)--not including flawed--which runs outstanding/notable/drinkable/poor. I considered this notable when considering quality, age, and price.

  Certainly not the 96 it was. Still very good, yet needs 4-8 hrs to open. still bold, with lots of plum and deep cherry and a smooth finish, yet it has passed its peak :-(. Drink it now before it's too late

  A big and burly wine with unabashed modern winemaking. Full nose has sweet red cherries, a mild green herbal streak, spice and toasty american oak notes. Rich and unctuous palate with loads of barrel spice and cherries. Low acidity. Layers of cherry fruit and traces of tempranillo character. Holding up, but there is no depth or complexity one would expect with 10+ years of bottle age. Solid, though the overt winemaking style hasn't helped matters here.
