not great but not bad. showing more age than I expected. lots of olive tapenade, bitter chocolate, plum, and dried cherries. tannins almost gone. if scoring, 86-88.

1 of 12 Magnums produced. Probably the first one consumed. Dark brooding black fruit, somewhat brambly. Hints of tar and rubber. Long sour black cherry and strawberry finish. Nice Tannin Structure. Decanted and consumed over 6 hour period. Wine got even better with more time. Very smooth later on in the evening.

A bit harsh. Nice tannins, but not rich enough. Lots of personality. Liked it, but didn't love it.
