This cold cellared bottle was still alive, although on the back end of its life cycle and was probably better a few years ago.
Fairly straightforward without much complexity, the wine featured blackberry and dark cherry fruit along with a little bit of spice. Very slightly oxidized on the finish, reflective of the wine’s advanced age.
Drink now/soon.

Good and smooth. But not remarkable. More like what you would expect from a Big Corporate Winery's "high end" offering. Certainly non-offensive. But other than the lack of any edges, or bumps in the road, this wine was good, solid, but that's about it. Drink now, for sure. This is not meant to be in your cellar, ever. Age it in the car on the ride home from the wine shop. Pop and pour.
