Clear, light garnet to a watery rim showing faintly desiccated, mature red and dark fruit, cherry, plum, dried herb on the nose complemented by pronounced earthy, leather, tar. Confirmed on the palate the wine offers a soft entry with focused savory flavors confirming the nose; oak and alc well integrated; medium tannins, medium+ mouthwatering acid with a short finish; this is still a very good simple wine 86-89pts; drink what you have; this wine is peaking with tertiary flavors and acid keeping our attention yet breaking down with signs of pigment separation and a watery mouthfeel (that is not acid); best-served 65-68F (18-20C) with acidic foods; enhance a simple lasagne and enjoy!

Tight on open, unremarkable hints of red fruit, raspberry, violets, menthol, licorice, bell pepper, better as it came to room temp and 3 hours. Immediate attack of sour cherry, cranberry, and a lean acidic mouth watering backbone, moving to tongue coating chalky limestone, crushed rock fine tannins and a lingering finish. Hmmm? JG93+ to 2050, not sure there. But enjoy it for the style it is! CF had a good show in 2015 with the mostly hot-dry season.

At 10yr old, fruit has taken a backseat, vegetal qualitites and pyrazines have softened; deep ruby color and remains intense, no bricking at rim, med-high acid, high alcohol, grippy pencil lead tannins
