The fruit had faded, but the wine hadn't evolved to display interesting notes because the alcohol's heat outweighed other aspects of the wine. It wasn't terrible, but was a disappoitment.

The nose is moderate with rich, dark-fruit. The wine has a dark fruit taste that's slightly jammy. In the miid-palate through the finish the fruit becomes less jammy but remains sweet, with a slightly tar-like black licorice note, all of which works well together. The fruit and alcohol are well balanced, but the tanins are a bit sharp, which might smooth out with some more time. I liked it (90), but my wife seemed to like it a little more.

A nose of ripe dark berries with an unusal quality I can't find the words for -- but very good. Upon drinking, it delivers sweet dark berry fruit and rasberry. Good alcohol to brace the finish. But I keep returning to the nose, which is beautiful.
