Such a surprise! Grabbed this for fun at only $18 in DC. Deep garnet red with moderate intensity. Aged nose for sure. Started off a little pruney but opened up beautifully. A little stinkiness with damp forest floor, soft vegetal notes, little bit of red cherry and smoked fruits. Moderate tannins (5/10) and fully integrated, so silky and smooth. Medium bodied with a medium plus finish. Damp wood with a mix of dark plums and red berries. Solid acidity leading to great structure even after 17 years. Drink now will it is still holding on.
