  More mature and less lively than a recent bottle, modest black cherry fruit, black coffee, resolved tannins, a little tired on the finish. B-

  Very youthful, guesses were 6-10 years old. Black cherry, a touch of coffee, enough acid and tannin that there’s no hurry. Nice length, elegant. B+

  Im sure this was a much better wine a few years ago. This is slightly reduced, the acidity has faded out. Still, its quite soft and plush, with some interesting tobacco and mint. Not enough stuffing to evolve further; drink up.

  Went to a charity dinner and was surprised to find that someone dug this out of his cellar. It has held up ok. It is pleasant, soft, and somewhat elegant. But there's nothing particularly interesting going on either.

  Popnpoured followed over 4 hours
  
  Nose showed some ash and red fruit. Pine sol. The ash blew off after about 2 hours revealing a nice, firmly red baritone type aroma with mouth feel. Nice cran and tart red cherry fruit with some mild funk. Seemed young, even adolescent.
  
  This was my last bottle, hold any well stored bottles for 5+ years. I'd bet there is a definite upside here.
