2011, opened up slowly. Worth decanting. On the second eveing (24 hrs after opening) it became absolutely brilliant, 8.4 > 9.2. I feel it could continue to age very well.

Very smoky. A lot dryer than I was expecting. Did have. Smoother finish. Took a few sips to really get into the wine. Let it breath for a good hour or more.

Prunes. Sour cherries. A little high in tannins.

Earthy with some strong berry flavors. It was $20 at Trader Joe's. Bought for a celebration and really enjoyed it.
