Time to drink up. A little "thin no" the age is showing, but there is some red fruits left and some mature oak. Next time uts should not stay so kong in the cellar.

(12.5% vol) No formal notes. Decent wine, but too much oak on the nose for me. Let me see how it tastes tomorrow. Still didn't rock my boat the next day, still a decent wine.

With everyone going for the 2003's, the store offered the unsold 2002's for $11.99. Deep magenta color, horsey and smokey nose with ripe cherries, something missing in the mouth, perhaps due to lighter body than the aromas suggest. Nice finish consistent with the nose. Good tannins.The next day out of the refrigerator the horsey smell was stronger. Good match for strong cheeses.

Thin and quite bitter but with a tight mouthfeel. Not bad but not charming either. Maybe slightly too old for my liking.
