Started in an extremely bleak fashion (as expected). But grew nicely.
Wife refused to even taste it ("Old wine vibes").
Light red with extensive mature rim.
Nose is of a wine towards 'advanced'. Light autumnal leaves, mud and hoisin sauce.
In the mouth this is reliant on the acidic structure. Tannins are resolved, fruit has all but receeded. There's not much umpa-umpa left. However, VERY delicious from an umami aspect.
Went well with tonight's Pizza-La pizza. "Peperoni Rubber" :-)

Weighty, opaque in the glass, with plenty of extract. Rich fruit with a minty tinge, and slight VA vibe, but perfectly integrated. Big tannins still. Fresh and harmonious.
