(Rudd Oakville Estate Proprietary Red) Very dark purple red violet color; rich berry, blackberry, black plum, black fruit, dark chocolate nose; tight, plush, black fruit, berry, black cherry palate with sweet tannins; almost drinkable now, but could use 2-plus years of aging; medium-plus finish

Dense ruby coloring, prominenet and rich aroma of ripe cherries, vanilla, blackberry, cassis. Full fleshed mouth feel almost merlot like, rounded tanins hold everything together.

This bottle seemed past primetime. Lack of complexity, prune, black currant. Full bodied and easy to drink, but fading quick. My last 2007.

Drinking very well at this time and would expect that to hold for severl years. Gave it an hour to open and was rewarded with a well structured and complex package of hard fruits-pears and apples as well as cherry and current. Light spices, cinnamon and vanilla joined some mineral notes. Tannins are noticeable but moderate creating a very fulsome mouthfeel.

Opened one hour before serving. Luscious ripe fruit in a well structured package.

Decanted 30 mins before pour, could easily have been 1 hour. Big flavors of fruit, mineral, and chalk, very strong tannins present. Expect this to easily go antoher 10-20 years with optimal drinking 2023-2030
