Too old now! At decanting, this wine had an interesting bouquet, and seemed very intense - lots of black fruits. The aftertaste was fairly short, and it was surprisingly tannic. After about 1/2 hour, it had faded quite a bit - only thin flavor. Strangely, it did not seem as tannic.

dark purple/black opaque, big nose of extracted dried black cherry, fig & date along with toasty oak and vanilla, huge extracted wine that is out of whack now. Plenty of fruit to catch up with the oak eventually. big wine with cool packaging. pair for steaks and fatty meats. 1G (???, 30.00)

It's past it's prime. Drink now. Should have been drank two years ago
