Wish I had not waited so long to drink this. It has faded considerably, with loss of substantial fruit. Thin with little residual tannin. Still pleasant, but not what it once was. Oh well....Good time to go through My Cellar to make sure I don't mess up again.

Slight barrique/ cork tast- but decent. Fruit is shot-only plum, light acidity, and animal taste. There are still a lot of these in the community- drink now or you will have to dump.
Some of the first reviews make this wine sound unbelievable- wish i would have drank it then.

My wife brought this up from the cellar. Red with amber bricking. Closed nose at opening, very little fruit and a bit of dusty earth after an hour. Soft approach but a dry finish.

Deep red color. Red and black plums, smoke and distinct gravelly nose. A good dose of blue-red fruits, earth and gravel on the palate. The nose and the palate got better on day 2. There are bitter and astringent tannins with the fruit fading away on the finish.

Dark cherry and high fruit notes. Very drinkable, but not much cellar time left. Enjoyable!
