Color was brick red at the edges. Nose was a bit off but smelled fruit at first which quickly disappeared perhaps as a result of this wine being past its prime. Wine tasted of leather with a medium body.

Medium Bodied. Some bricking on edge of wine. Cork not in good shape some may have some premature ageing. Some light fruit flavors, sour cherry. Leather and spice flavors dominate. A nice, but not great wine.

A somewhat odd wine. A leathery nose with some strawberry. On the palate there is tart cranberry and sandalwood. This finishes with a lot of acid. I recall this being more interesting when I have had it before.

Pure vanilla already in the nose. Blackberry and immense blueberry on the palate with a slightly milky background. Very pleasant to drink. The finish is a little smoky and toasty.
