opened 1 hr; Dark ruby red; nose is restrained tending toward mineral(iron), and a little very dark chocolate; body is balanced, good fruit to tannin ratio; tannins are soft for PS, red berry fruits, black plums; med long finish with berry, pomegranate flavors. This wine has no "peak" in sight, just evolution into a soft rich, complex wine some day.

Rich and tasty, probably I’d call this cab sauv if offered blind. It’s all blackberry and fruity, youthful and nicely rich even at 10 years old. Good tart finish. Very good, esp for the price.

Hmm. Funky bottle or corked? Very tart, high acidity. Not at all what we were expecting -prob corked although showed no visual sign (cork looked very good).

Smooth on opening; well structured with good depth of flavor; lasting finish; went well with Beef Stew with Prunes (NYT Cooking)
