  Bottle stored in near perfect conditions. Would drink up soon, but is still holding up just fine.

  Medium nose of leathery cranberry, dried black cherry, drying / dying flower petals, some spicy but sweet cinnamon, and rusty and iron rich soily notes. Faint hints of pencil shavings. Dried jerky meats. Palate is in a good place for drinking right now, tannins have mostly melted away nicely. Rich and leathery red cherry fruit with more meaty notes. Still juicy. The finish is starting to turn a bit tertiary with the mature fruit yielding to fall leaves and maple. Dark teas and a tiny bit of smoke. Good.

  Decanted for 4 hours prior to consumption. Garnet color. Very smooth with dark, dried fruit, tar and chocolate flavors. Very nice. The decanting was key I believe.

  This bottle fell apart. Nothing good left about it.
