12.8% alc Still red with some brown bricking. Not opaque nor thick. Aromas of dried berries, cassis, tobacco, old worn leather, pot pourri.
Nice berry flavours intermingled with a pleasant bitterness. Vague dusty tannins to close. Still some greenness to the wine. Decent length to finish. Medium bodied. Aging nicely.

Savory and mouthwatering, with dark fruit, a touch of bell pepper, a bit of tannin and a tangy finish, it reminds me a bit of an excellent Loire Cabernet Franc . I'm pleasantly surprised.

Had this wine on Saturday and then Tuesday - on Tuesday the wine was completely different than previous notes - deep, rich secondary flavors. I may not be giving this wine the respect it deserves, and letting it rest even longer. Hmm.

Still singing, some fruit, some herb/pepper, some good acidity to pair with food. Last of a case, glad I bought and enjoyed it.

Felt like a lovely gentleman's claret. No sign of degradation; still fully within its window.
