By appearance, this wine is in great shape. Still quite rich in color. On the nose there is damp forest floor and wood with echoes of cherry making me optimistic. Unfortunately, the wine is much less fun to drink, tasting a bit dried out with the characteristic acidity of the vintage.

Dusty and somewhat reticent red fruit on the nose. Cranberry/strawberry? Some funk and fresh cut button mushrooms too. Richer on the palate which goes toward strawberry jam but is not quite sweet. Minerals. More funk and tannins on the lip-smacking finish. Maybe a few more years in the cellar would improve this wine, mostly by making it less disjointed, but if you have a few and have not opened one yet, go for it.
