  Medium-dark garnet. Milk chocolate and deep red fruits on the nose. Really tasty black and red berries.

  Very dark garnet with a touch of brown. Wet fall leaves and perhaps a touch of overripe black cherries in the nose. Over time, vanilla scents emerge. Notes of black plum skin, blackberries on the primary attack, followed by blueberries. There are also notes of cranberries, toasted almonds, and a bit of cocoa. This is a real potpourri of flavor. NB: This wine really needs an hour decant.

  Velvety earthy texture with notes of anise and cassis.

  Dinner with Tim, Elliott, and Roger (San Francisco, CA): Medium-deep ruby; highly aromatic, rich black fruits, some spice; palate is medium bodied, a bit soft, black cherry, medium tannins, medium alcohol; medium finish. Lovely, but their basic bottling has a lighter more elegant, higher acid quality which is really nice. This seems ready now or soon. 88
