  Stinky, possibly a little Bretty, but not much fruit. Mellow and integrated but still tannic and rather bitter. A poor Bottle and disappointing. I suspect this may have been a bad bottle but I couldn't detect any obvious wine faults. CHP 82 pts

  stewed fruit. overripe blackberries - on a hot day - about to take up a colony of green mold. Somehow just the smallest hint of green pepper.
  
  A bit of granite or perhaps limestone on the finish?
  
  No acid. Drink now. It'll be downhill from here.

  Upon opening aromas of potted meat, blackberries. On the palette- full bodied fruit forward, black currants and plums, lavender and slight tar and tannins on the finish. A hint of cedar possibly. Better Day 1.

  Part of a Red Rhone blends from around the world batch. Didn't take detailed notes but was held it's own to others. Very nice

  Sublime. Wonderful nose of sweet oak and ripe berries. Luscious palate. Very fine tannins, just enough acidity, good length. Will no doubt keep for many years, but is simply perfect right now. 14.5%
