  This was "OUTSTANDING!" It was beautiful with a full almost candy-like nose, followed by cherry fruit and lush silf and well rounded mouthfeel across the middle and a long finish. I enjoyed it with a Madeira Lamb dish with cauliflower & garbanzo pasta that I had deliberately spiced up. It held up beautifully.

  Cork crumbled on exit and smelled very TCA-ee. If it hit the wine it is pretty mild, mostly i get some sour cherry, moderate tannin and a bit of saddle leather but there, on the backgroun, perhaps some wet cardboard. I've experienced TCA like famous people dying, in three's, so this would be the second bottle in a row after a Spanish wine last night was similarly corked but more strongly so. And no, TCA doesn't earn a flaw, its bad and its due to bad processing and bad corks that cause it so tough, the ratings get dropped because. Buy better corks, clean them right or use an alternate closure.

  Smoky, blue fruits in the nose with that fruit following on to the palate along with pepper, slight amounts of heat and slate rock notes. Drink any time.

  This definitely is peaked. Probably good for another 1-3 years. Smoky, blackberry nose with leaning flavors of blackberry, dark chocolate, black pepper. Ashy, gritty tannins shed the finish so that it finishes hot and dry. Not horrible but not spectacular.

  Raspberry, pepper, molasses. Pepper predominates. Drink 1-2 years.
