Would never guess this at 17 years old. Pours dark and firm and structured in the pallette. Took an hour to further express itself. Very balanced and good clean lingering finish.

From magnum. 33/60 Decanted 1 hour. Nose of dark cherry, milk chocolate, and baking spices. Upon opening the wine was hot and tannic on the palate all of which smoothed out after decanting. By the end of two hours, dark cherries filled the palate. Medium finish.

There is potential here but opened too soon. Did not make any notes on the last bottle I opened. The tannins were prominent but did flesh out after an hour in the decanter. A nice bottle with a few lessons.

Might be fading a bit compared to the Last bottle I opened but still great overall.
