Black cherries, plums, leather, and hints of, mint in the nose. Blackberries and black cherries in the flavor with hints of spice and herbalness in the flavor. Well balanced, full bodied, nice complexity and a long smooth finish.

Slo-oxed for 10 minutes. A medium to deep violet color to a watery rim. Dark red fruit and earth on the nose. The medium bodied palate showed more earth and spice than dark red fruits - probably evidence that the wine is fading, along with more acidity than needed to balance. Should probably drink up.

Enjoyable but less so than other bottles of this vintage I’ve had in the past. Seemed a little sweet and less elegant. Based on tonight, this is starting to decline. Drink up.

Delicious but not particularly complex or in depth. Jammy and smooth, good bbq type of wine. Will be good for a few more years.
