Aromas of sweet red and black berries with some cinnamon and sage. Black cherry, cola and cedar flavors followed by a nice finish. Drank over 2 days and tasted about the same each day.

Medium purple. Nose of spice, strawberries and earth. On the palate this is a grainy wine with strawberries, floral and earth. Decant finish with good acidity. Not as good as the 05 and decanted 4 hours.

Drank over several days. On pop and pour was barely drinkable with a barnyard funk and very tannic palate. After about 2 hours of decanting it began to blow off and display some red fruit, strawberry and raspberry, with a more typical earthiness. The second day was much better, the nose became pleasant with no funk and the tannins were no longer so harsh. A good day 2 wine, 88. I wouldn't rec a pop and pour though!

Probably past it's prime...a little astringent.
