PnD let air for 1hr. Dark garnet purple with plum rim. Clay plum cherry porcini and Parmesan rind on the nose. Medium weight with ripe grippy cherry skin and black team tannins. Nice fruit mineral and umami notes on the palate. Vandiner nailed it in fewer words.

A fragrant blend with earthy and floral qualities that I sometimes get off of Merlot - liquorice and rose petal in particular. A most elegant drinking wine, fruit forward dark cherry - medium to full bodied and medium acidity. Drinks classical but not traditional. It held up to my steak au poivre but I feel that it is best suited to lamb or with parmesan cheese...I am also thinking Slovaki!

Time to Taste 2000 Bordeaux (R&D's): Opened by Frank. Fairly straightforward and simple with notes of clay, macerated red berry and spice on the nose and palate. On the lighter side, with decent acidity and a medium finish. A little out of place in tonight's lineup.

Deep, dark reddish purple in color. Fragrant, attractive & youthful nose of ripe red fruit aromas of cherries & berries with some cedar, dried herbs, spices, a bit of anise, earthy notes, minerals, toasty oak, a touch of vanilla and a bit of heat in the background. Medium bodied with a good concentration of balanced, youthful, ripe red fruit flavors of cherries & berries with herbs, earthy, minerals, toasty oak and a touch of vanilla. Lingering dry finish. Drinks quite well at present with decanting and airing but has the potential for further development with additional aging.
