  Deep, relatively dense ruby. Dark red, peppery fruit. Mid weight, peppery with some bite. A little flat perhaps. Still plenty of life in it but lacking the spark of a previous bottle seven years ago. Not sure I’ll work up sufficient enthusiasm to finish this off tomorrow. Decent enough, but… ***

  Tasted blind. aromas of leather and cherry. Flavors of cherry, currant and mocha. Ends with 15-20 second finish with currant notes. Guessed a Cabernet from Washington but again wasn't close. Finished tied for 1st.

  Afraid I left in cellar too long. Much thinner than I remember from earlier vintages. Hopefully the decanter will work a little Christmas miracle!

  Not sure It has improved since Last time. Somewhat overripe with prune notes.
