Woke this wine up from a deep sleep. Initially seemed faded as it came out of the bottle, with some old barrel smells and dusty rose. After about an hour the color had deepened to a dark burgundy red and the flavors were of cedar, muted cassis and a hint of oak. All in all a worthwhile bottle to taste and I'll open my remaining bottles very soon.

CHOCOLATE, COFFEE, LICORICE, AND CHERRY IN THE NOSE WITH BLACK CHERRY FRUIT IN THE FLAVOR AND A MEDIUM LENGTH FINISH. THIS TSTG:TOUCH OF MINT IN THE FLAVOR. AT ITS PEAK.

Fantastic bottle even after all these years. One of the better bottles of wine I have enjoyed this year.
