Must have had a very good bottle, as mine was showing far exceeding expectations! Dark fruits mixing eith Chinon like barnyard aroma. Medium tannins and well indegrated dark berry acidity. 88/100 (90/100 on personal pleasure scale)

garnet with a touch of orange. Nose was not much of anything; swirling brought out some spice and leather, but only hints thereof. Taste was the same, initially spices and tobacco, no fruit to speak of.. I do not think this wine is corked, as I am TCA sensative usually. It went OK with food, not great by itself.

Cork held up well. Medium color and some barnyard on the nose. On the palette, cherry pie but not too tart. A nice fine!

Surely past its best. Autumnal leaves, raspberry, leather. Tart. Average finish.
