This was in a beautiful spot, elegant and showing well for it's age. I think it's finally reached a point where it's no longer going to improve with age. Medium fruit, medium acidity, medium tannin, with good balance. Outstanding.

Color: Hazy ruby with a garnet rim Smell: Black & blue fruits, charcoal, old railroad ties, Taste: Blueberries, blackberries, clove, mushrooms, and tomato leaf Overall: Outstanding!! I just adore this wine. Medium body, high acidity, med+ fruit, and a long finish. This is a wine that just begs for food. A true AFWE gem that more people should know about.

Attractive nose with kirsch, licorice and dark to black fruits basket. Underneath that (less expressive) secondary notes as leather and autumn leaves. Medium to full bodied palate with sweet fruit notes and tannins that might start to dry out soon (another 3 years). The fruit doesn't stand up to the tannins (and barrique) tones on the palate. Nevertheless an attractive wine.
