Dark plum, moving toward white at rim, hazy but not sediment. Medium+ viscosity. Nose sees crushed, ripe strawberries and raspberries, vanilla. Palette sees medium acid, old, caramel flavors, medium, rounded tannins. Medium finish of medium complexity. After opening up, although I'm not a big Bordeaux fan, I enjoyed this wine. Enough fruit and complexity to keep it interesting, some age, and paired well with bourbon ribs.

Aromas of mushrooms and olives, some notes of cocoa and leather hints of caraway. Quite bright and light on the palette with cranberries. Long tannic and dry finish.
