Wine aged very well. Aerated and let sit for about 30 minutes. Nice body, inky color, somewhat earthy on the front end. Very complement to a steak.
Judging by how well it opened up in a relatively short time, it probably has some life left to it, but I would not want to wait too long. Seems like it is still in its prime.

The Usual Suspects (with photos) (Fiddler's Green): A lighter violet in the glass with scents of earth, lumber, cannabis, and a weird steel note. In the mouth this was just disappointing as it starts off with nice flavors of blackberry and then is followed by nothing...short and disappointing.

Unique. Smokey with earth tones. Had it with a steak but wish I could have just enjoyed by itself. Had a lot of sediment in the bottle. Drink now.

Bright ruby with a dominant nose of sweet roses. Intense dark cherry fruit, cassis, earth, moderate tannins and a long finish.
