  The wine without sediment . It was a semi opaque deep ruby at the core and medium garnet at the rim. Viscosity was high.
  The wine was healthy with a medium intensity and aromas of cherries, earthy forest floor, leather, black currant, tar.
  On the mouth the wine was dry with low acidity and low tannins. I tasted bitterness, umami, leather and under ripe plum skin. I could not taste any fruit .
  It was a medium bodied wine with high alcohol and the finish was medium.
  There was definite bitterness. The wine was not good quality with respect to price . This wine is past its peak as it lacks mouth flavors.
  This wine would pair well with something that is heavy and fatty like a pork roast or roasted chicken

  I thought this was somewhat unique. There is a floral nose and the initial taste is fruity but it takes a turn with some spice notes and a little earthiness which creates a nice experience. Too bad I didn’t buy more.

  Very good
  Rich, balanced with great mouth feel. No hurry.

  This wine is lovely, seamless and elegant, and considering the vintage overall is not particularly noteworthy it's drinking beyond expectation. Delicious.

  Typical bouquet and taste profile, though nothing stands out. It drinks more like a good quality CdR than CdP. Solid, yet entirely underwhelming.
