Sound and tasty but not profound. High acid, still has nice red fruit, but not up for the intensity of other wines of the evening. Needs its own focus.

Really delicious upon entry with lots of crisp cherry fruit with notes of charred oak and spice. Fairly full-bodied and rich and quite concentrated for a wine this age but the finish turns sour rather than complex which keeps the wine from closing the deal. A shame but still tasty juice.

Nice bottle. Beefy. Rose petals.. whiff of vanilla.. Held up nicely to wet BBQ baby back ribs. On downslope but not oxidized.

Much better bottle. Perfectly sound, long and full, meaty and fruity. Perfect with aged beef.
