Nose has ripe black cherry, ripe strawberry, damp leather, faint wet wood charcoal and dry leaves.

Palate has ripe blackberry, dried Bing cherry, dehydrated strawberry with a lingering dry soil finish.

Holding up much better than expected. Notes at 24H; yesterday the nose was quite vivid. Decanted 90m.

10 years old but hanging in there. Earthy and silky, diminished fruits. Longs for some truffled/mushroom dish.
