I was worried about this still being viable, but the nose is absolutely delicious. Scents of mature strawberry, camphor, and eucalyptus. A kaleidoscope of red fruit flavors. Complex with gracefully aged fruit, oak integration, and eucalyptus. Long finish. And this was $22. Perfect with Thanksgiving dinner.

We let this bottle go a bit past its prime. Even so the fruit while somewhat muted still shined through with a decent balance. While typical black fruits came through, the slightly herbaceous quality through me off a bit.

Probably past its prime. Blackberries with powdered coco. Orange peal finish. Good, but not what I was expecting.

I didn't take care of this bottle like it should have been done. Cork broke on opening and found wine to be vinegar. Down the sink it went.

Jim thought it was a 93/94 and I thought it was 86/87 (past its prime)
