Very charming smoky, dark fruit on the nose. Slight floral note. Touch of green note on the palate which is mainly dark fruit and damp earth. Silky texture. Nice balance.

Wines like these refresh one's enthusiasm for the hobby! A delight - really nice character, red berry, graphite, cigar smoke. One of those you stare at in the cellar wondering - did it hold up? Oh yes!

Interesting wine; terrible cork and capsule; nose initially dominated by pyrazines, but with a bit of air opens to show some nice tobacco, damp earth, dried plum, hints of bell pepper, violet, and dried currant. The palate is fully mature, but maintains some pleasure and fruit, hints of herbs, tobacco, and pyrazines. Not bad, but close to over the hill.

Annual Tasting Group Holiday Party (St. Genevieve, Mpls, MN): Small taste. This was a fun one: cigar, scorched earth, dried cherries, tobacco, dense, lacquer.
