Old, but ripe. Cherries and blackberries and a bit of mocca. No aging tones. No more tanine. It was worth keeping.

Wood chips and strong aerosol aromas. Blackberry, earthy/soil notes coupled with oak undertones. Medium length.

Aroma of dark fruit (blackberries?) soft tannins on the initial taste. After airing it out, becomes medium in strength upfront. A pleasant wine.

Meaty nose. Good complex red. Reminds me of a strong Cab Sav. Would be good with a hearty dish.
