Drank over the course of two nights (vacuum corking inbetween). Not much fruit left, some chocolate or burnt caramel, with some earthiness. Body was not very large or bold, smooth, but with little flavor and finishes clean. Reasonably enjoyable, but past it's prime, time to drink up!

Nice dark color, nose has a lot of eucalyptus and some plum and black cherry. Drinking the wine, it has a silky mouthfeel with rich fruit, tannin and acid are both fairly solid so this wine is in a good place and should hold for a while longer. Finish fairly long, this is a steal at the price point.

An hour and a half decant. Dark ruby-garnet color with an earthy purple on the rim. Picking up some dark red berries, blueberries, and some plums on the nose; also detect some light tobacco component also. Currants, black fruits, hints of red berries, and some leather and tobacco on the palate. Still tannic with a pretty decent finish; can definitely use some more cellar time. 89+

Still tasting OK. A dry red without too much fruit. Probably past its prime, but still decent.
