This was slightly tired, but still charming. The nose had more than its fair share of balsamic and Madeira notes, but also a nice blush of dried cherries and berries, earth and cigarette smoke, and beyond that a lovely waft of perfumy florals. Funk aside, this was really nice. The palate was more alive than the nose let on, with fresh acidity and a rustle of silky tannins running through clear, pure notes of dried strawberries and cherries, with a whiff of cigarette spice and some wilting florals, all somewhat shadowed by a little layer of earth, meaty funk into a nice long finish. Pretty nice, especially when paired beautifully with a herbal crocodile meat soup, but with its peak drinking window probably a few years behind it.
