Monday, February 5, 2018 - Nose: Red fruit, chassis, ceder and mushrooms
typical of the old Vintage the wine showed some brick colors and needed about an hour to open up. The peek was after 1 hour and the wine faded rather quickly. We didn't make it to finish the bottle and started to feel painful to finish the glass.

Mouth: Black fruits, musty cave, mushrooms and wild cherries.

This one is probably overdue and was at it's peak 5-3 years ago.
The wine looks brick colored. The legs are medium. There is moderate sediment in the bottle. It smells like black currant (cassis), prune, dust, mushroom, forest floor, cedar and bell pepper. It tastes like raspberry, black currant (cassis), prune, mushroom, stoniness, cedar, rose, tobacco and bell pepper. The body is medium. The wine has satin-like texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.
