Wow very surprised. Sister and her husband had two bottles of this. One had excellent fill and this was that bottle. Medium minus garnet and tawny red. Lovely nose with tiertary notes of leather, damp forest floor and tobacco leaves. Medium minus tannins (5/10) with a medium minus body. A hint of mulled cherry on the palate with tons of leather, truffles, mushroom and earthiness. Medium length finish. Drinking beautifully right now.

Ullage just below the neck. Color was bright and clear with no bricking at the meniscus. Amazingly, tannins were still present. Fruit and acid were still bold and balanced. This was the last of three bottles of this of our anniversary year...and as good as the others were, this was the best.
