Aromas hint at an old leather chest; dried spice. Stemmy with nobly aged black currant essence; surprising density on the palate which is intact, though the nose is mute even after a long decant. Maybe just taking its time.
Family hand me down... remembering my father with the bottles he never had a chance to open.

Took a little time in the glass before aromas of candied cherries, tobacco and earth. Seems to have past the drinking window as the medium-bodied texture seems a off balance with oak and acid overpowering the minimal fruit left. Still drinkable, but definitely going downhill.
