Cork was crumbling, needed to decant but, wow! What a nose on this wine, deep ripe fruits and a warm note on the inhale. Swirling made the deep fruits even more pronounced. Hints of cinnamon hid in the background of oak and vanilla. Warming sensation in the mouth, really quite pleasant. Blackberries and cherry flavors with spicy undernotes made this a really pleasant experience. Expected this to open more on sitting, but didn’t as much as I expected. Rich coffee like sensation at the end. Nice wine.

2007. Much better than last time I tried 2 years ago. Much. May have a little time left but probably not much. Maybe a year or two. Delish now.

Dark, fruits, spices, inky. Medium acid with fresh fruits and smooth tannins. Needs time.

Glass-coating viscosity with an opaque inkiness. Blueberry, violet, menthol and tobacco on the nose. Leather, cracked pepper medley, black fruits on the palate, concluding with a definitive yet supple cedar note.
