Dark garnet color. Very old world on the nose with mushrooms, and some dirt covered black cherry notes. Earthy flavors on the palate as well with dried cherry and plum flavors along with a bit of mint. Dry mouthfeel and finish. Agree that it could have used a bit more fruit to be really good but is definitely enjoyable at the moment, especially with the right foods. Drink up if you have any in the cellar.

WLTV Forum Offline Montclair (Table 8, Montclair, NJ): Band-aid nose. Taste was a bit medicinal with a tarry finish. Went well with the meal, but would benefit if it had a little more fruit.

Deep color with big nose. Taste of cherry and licorice. Could stand another year or two but drinking well now.
