Light garnet color with a bit of an orange rim. Aromas of dark cherries, rose petals and cocoa. Same dark cherry fruit on the pallet with notes of dark chocolate and minerals. Mild and dusty tannins. Long finish. Revisited in September 2022. Wine continues to age gracefully. A bit more mushroom on the nose and pallet.

Mellow but full bodied, very dry, black tea, raisins, ink, cranberry, nice mouth-drying tannins. From Shawn's.

2008 - very classic, still a little rough around the edges but opens up nicely after about an hour

2008. Tasty with some flavors I can only describe as a chalky sweetness. Put me in mind of some of the candies I had as a kid. Not dessert sweet. Just a thing in the palate.
