Popped and poured, no bricking, no funk, just beautiful deep purple color with a fresh nose of cherry, blue plums, lavender, and hints of leather. Oak treatment but very subtle. This wine was beautifully integrated with soft tannins and a long finish. Great mouth feel. Years left on this wine.

Much more youthful than its almost 20 years in the bottle. Light, clear ruby color, no sign of bricking. The nose was heavy on dirt and mushroom, with highlights of bright cherry and roses. The palate picked up the red fruits with cherry and raspberry notes. Smooth and inviting through the mid-palate; great mouth feel. Medium+ acid through the mid-palate and the jowls. The tannins are assertive but refined, and the finish is medium to long. Beautiful, balanced, and integrated, I'd give this another 5-7 years of aging potential.

Beautiful light, ruby color. Cherry cola and forest floor on the nose, great mouth feel, medium + acid and a long finish.
