Out of a Mag, getting better with more air, needs to blow off the funk of years in the bottle,
Parker 98🤔 we'll see,
Another first time wine for me, found it on auction for $120.00 for the Magnum, definitely glad I took the chance

This was great on release, but has been in decline ever since. Nowadays it's merely 'good', maybe even average.
Espresso, walnut, raisins, cocoapowder, spicy beefstew. Is turning into something Grenache-y: alcoholic sweetness and warmth (spicy cherry cobbler), forgettable mid palate, short finish.
Bummer.
Getting worse during the evening. Falling apart. Downrated.
