Poured with a nice dark purple, not quite garnet coloring. Took about 30 minutes to open. Lots of black fruit notes, particularly blackberry with a hint of blueberry on the back. Some cassis and a bit of pencil lead. The tannins have dropped leaving a very good, smooth food friendly wine. Probably peaking if anyone has any left.

Past its prime. Fruit mostly gone. Thin and tart. Black tea flavors push through an acidic finish.
