Dec 25th, 2023Decanted with surprisingly minimal sediments . An enticing medium brick color. On the nose: sherry/port, earthy, mushroom. Taste: very minimal fruit, very light tobacco- leather-mineral, mostly port like taste. This bottle was past its prime and not worth the restaurant price.....bummer! I will need to rinse my mouth out with a good cab when I get home.
