1993 Double Blind Horizontal (Chris'): Double blind. Ruby. Interesting nose with black cherry and sandalwood. Palate has smooth black cherry with more sandalwood and woodspice. Medium body with good balancing acidity.

Double Blind 1993s From Around the World (Hughes House - Chicago IL): Tasted double blind in what turned out to be a flight of 1993s. Large scaled black fruit on nose and palate. Firm and dense but good enough fruit that was starting to show interesting mature notes. I had no idea what varietal this was. Group's least favorite wine of the night, I liked it slightly more than that.

Fairly dense, monolithic, almost Rhone like in stature. Powerful finish, almost like a Scotch. After a couple hours, finishes with drying old wood, surely a vestige of its upbringing. Not great.
