  Some bitter chocolate and a bit of dark fruit but clearly heading south. Drink now.

  Entering its drinking window. Will go for another 5-10 easily.
  Fruit and acid are well balanced. Tannins still firm. Fine sediment. Would pay 30-40.

  Blackberry, cherry, tobacco. Stored in cellar for several years. Decanted for 4 hours; still incredibly tight. Wine needs more time to mellow and relax; I will not be drinking the next bottle until another 2+ years have passed.

  After reading thru the comments I decided to decant for 4 hours. Served at a dinner party (4 wine drinkers) & the others raved about this wine. It had really opened up very complex with a very nice finish. I suspect some of the poor ratings on this was due to it not being ready to drink yet.
