  Have a few bottles of this lurking around in storage. Decided to try. Spicy but clearly a bit past prime. Structure has faded and although fruit still present it is a bit flat. Would not say flabby but does not stand up well to food. Interesting characteristics have developed (e.g., rubber). Not unpleasant but certainly interesting.

  Nose of spices - cinnamon and black & white pepper. Light/medium bodied. Nice fruit - elegant and delicate, with nice spiciness and some tang. Somewhat simple, but fairly nice.

  Drink now, fading quick. The wine is light and pleasant in the mouth with a nice mouthfeel. Flavors of mixed spices, and earth along with a cranberry/ cherry backbone. Not a bad wine but I'm glad don't have any others. 3/5

  Nose of red fruit, a touch of spice. Red raspberry on the palate. Some tannins, nice acids, good red fruit - cherries and raspberries. Just a touch of a smokiness. Rather simple but quite nice.

  Pleasant muddled berry (bits of raspberry and pie cherries) and herb nose that gave way to a Luden's cough drop cherry aroma with a couple hours of air time. Not a particularly weighty mouthfeel, though supported with red berry and herbaceous flavors (most notably sage about midway through) and a good, moderately long and somewhat tannic finish. A little oxidation brings out the cherry notes both in the nose and on the palate.
