Better than the bottle I opens two years ago (should have probably labeled as defective). Great cherry and plums. Toasted coffee and long after taste. Passed peak.

Tasted from magnum. A big, rustic style of wine with roasted plum, dried cherry, rhubard, raspberry, mushroom, balsamic and a slightly maderized quality on the nose. Dank and dark with nice acidity, slightly grippy tannins and a very appealing earthiness which really makes this sing! Starts really strong and gets better and better. A knockout!

Fully mature with no sediment or fading whatsoever.
Nose of sour cherry, blueberry, and faint eucalyptus. Unevenly balanced and unlikely to improve from here. W-Spectator's original 88 point score was on the money and still holds.
If a date, this was a lot of lipstick on Miss Piggy; pretty from afar but far from pretty.
I doubt I'll go back for another unfortunately

extremely muddy red color. The flavor was like nothing I have ever tasted. Didn't take good notes but will as I drink 2 more bottles.

Nose: Cedar, funky cherry, aged balsamic notes, very strong aromatics, if not overly complex.
Taste: Balsamic cherry, porcini mushroom, fruit leather. The funk was a tiny bit off-putting, as it was out of balance with other flavors.
Texture: Long and cocoa finish.
Overall: 87pts
