Rich in color, A lot of sediment & still tannic. Cherry tootsie pop smell. Rough finish without food.

Needed a good hour plus decant. Big oaky flavor with a bit of vanilla on the finish.

Happy NYE!

Dark and beautiful. Nose of blueberries and licorice. Nice finish that lasts longer than I expected. Could be due to the almost petrol like texture

Enjoyed the novelty of drinking such a famous wine a tad more than the wine itself. Was probably a little past its prime, but the company, meal, and spirit with which it was given to me make it memorable indeed. Thanks, Cheryl and Elijah!
