Found this in a corner of the cellar. It was tasty, but definitely past it’s prime. It had a very reticent nose with some minerals and dark fruit. It actually had some “zingy” red fruit on the front of the palate, but that faded quickly. Same story with the tannins on the mid-palate, which faded thru the finish. It was good, but much better a few years ago.

Solid as usual...medium to dark garnet. Nose of vanilla/oak, black raspberry, plum and some floral elements. Fairly chewy and oaky on the palate with plenty of ripe fruit. some remaining tannin but mostly integrated. probably won't get much better but will hold for several years at least in my assessment.
