Poured from mag with a TON of life left. At first this wine was FUNKY. After an hour there was a bunch of smoked meat, smoked black cherries, graham cracker, tobacco. Very old world nose. The palate is a balance. Youthful black cherry, blackberries, but old saddle leather is present with some fig. Finishes with black licorice, truffle, black pepper. A perfect mixture of old world and new world and kicked ass today from Magnum.

Aromas of dark fruit, plum and leather with herb and tobacco undertones. The leather aroma becomes dominant and follows through on the palate. Medium-bodied and mostly integrated at this point, but still has some power to it. Black currant and plum with leather qualities dominating the palate as well.

Opened by Allred at Anvil. Very Bordeaux-like on the nose with a hint of green or herbal as well. No apparent signs of age.
