similar to previous notes and probably at it's best now. Lot's of fruit which is very nice, but could get flabby later as the tanins seem to be leaving faster than the fruit

Very soft, especially for a "Big Red". Mostly black currant and blackberry but without the peppery notes I like in bolder reds. Seemed ready to drink now.

Blue and black fruits on the nose. Blackberry and currant with hints of anise. Nice structure that is soft and generous without being flabby. Great now and for al least another 5 yrs.

Really falling off now and past it's peak. Tannin gone, but surprisingly a bit of the fruit remains. Drink up.
