Beautiful, undenigrated ruby red. Smells like a bag of starburst - full of varied sweet fruit notes. Strong acids, strong tannins, and sweet black and blue fruits front to end palate. Lovely tannic finish that finally reveals the wood; a remarkably well-integrated wine that I would never have picked out as a 2002.

Reductive, sweet, almost pruney; very fine tannins; somewhat Australian in character both in flavor and mouthfeel. Hope this was an off-bottle. Went into a fine sauce for porterhouse steak.

Plummy red fruits, mixed with smoke and oak. Good plus but lacking complexity. (88)
