4th Saturday Brown Bagger (Mark & Rochelle's): Faded crimson color. Aromas of sour cherry, raspberry and red plum. Flavors of pepper, dark fruit and plum; spice and sour red fruit on the finish. As it sits it becomes less sour and brighter, improving quite a bit. Notes of cherry and chambord with cherry compote flavors. One taster's WOTF.
Our last bottle, and a nice showing once it opened up and blossomed. This had been double decanted off its sediment about 90 minutes before this flight was poured.

This bottle was in its prime, with a youthful purple/crimson robe. Aromas of blackberry, black cherry, white pepper, Christmas spices, plum and licorice with floral undertones. The florals stand out as the evening wore on. Medium-bodied and balanced, with blackberry, cherry, raspberry and spice flavors. Medium+ finish. Very tasty. One bottle left and as well as this is drinking now, it will not last much longer in the cellar. 90+ pts for both Domino and I.

Popped and poured with grilled pork chops. Very ripe fruit of mixed berries, and a bit too jammy. This was just a bit too ripe for my liking.
