Nose has dusty cherry with distinctive umami note, dried herbs, old vanilla bean, old molasses, dried mint, dried meats and old roses.
Palate has dusty blackberry, dried blueberry, violets, grilled meats, dehydrated black cherry, dried plum and slight cedar notes.
Long finish, tannins are still holding strong, pulled the cork 5h in advance, then decanted 90m...needs more time in the decanter. Holding just beautiful, no substitute for proper storage.
