Garnet colored. As youthful in appearance as something bottled last year. The aromatics are spot on here. Dark cherry, clove, earth/mushroom, spices. Medium bodied with plenty of dark red fruit, ample acidity and soft tannic structure. Picked up weight as we enjoyed it. Intensity as well. Amazing length for a 21 year old wine. Unreal.

The Eyrie Vineyards South Block Vertical 1975-2007 (McMinnville Grand Ballroom in McMinnville, Oregon): Scents of ginger, dried strawberries, and jelly beans show in the glass, while dark fruit scents appear after the wine has been in glass for some more time. On the palate, juicy cherries mix with clean apples and some dusty earth flavors. The fruit persists with lovely balanced acididty, and a touch of cinnamon shows itself on the finish.
