Started out with a lot of funk and a blood and iron finish... calmed down a little after an hour. Cola and sassafras with a light cherry background.

A little warm on the finish yet nice fruit. Mature bottle bouquet demands this should be consumed over the next year or two.

McArthur $32 for 2009 on 5/1/20 with duck and lentils. Past peak. Bitter finish gets better with air.

Half bottle. Just right with a spinach salad with garlic, EVOO, Romano cheese, and toasted pine nuts.

Grapefruit, pepper and something I could not describe. Light contrast and nice body
