Decanted about an hour before dinner. Nose not good; a stewed/roasted note was prevalent. Palate much better. Give it time and hope, or hit it from best years like 2009.

It takes effort to bring out the truffle, fresh herbs and just picked plums. Once you find them, they stock with you, along with a strong, tannic backdrop that frames the fruit. Long, concentrated, fresh and stony, this needs time in the cellar.

I think I jinxed myself by reading about all the flawed bottles on cellar tracker!
This was drinkable, but not a Bordeaux. The cork was fine, but the bottle had a lot of sediment. My guess is poor storage, but could be other factors.
Anyways, tasted more like a mediocre CDP or low level port. Brownish red color, but silky texture.
Oh well. Things like this happen.

Finished our last bottle of 6 tonight. About half were excellent, the others seemed stewed/roasted. No great wines, only great bottles.

After a flawed first bottle, this was sound and quite good. Modern, rich style, with plenty of ripe fruit.
