2nd of 3 Bottles. Opened first in 2006. This bottle confirms first bottle. Very soft and generally lacking any forward fruit. Maybe a little mroe refined than bottle 1. Definitely not my idea of a big cap.

Soft cherry and vanilla on the nose. Pure cherry and raspberry coming through, Big fruit without being too sweet. Nice tannins allow for a dry long finish. ($10)

Dark color, the nose showed ripe berries, clove, and slight vanilla. Palate showed very ripe fruit, acid, and tannin all in an inpressive balance. Very nice . Almost overripe. 13.8% Drink now.

3rd bottle has gone down hill from the 1st two. Rather asringent, although still holding color and clarity.

soft tannins and has that sweet residual sugar taste. Not much complexity
