bright with slight darkening towards the edge. Tar and briars on the nose, tannins adding a nice bite to the restrained fruit - definitely Rhone style, lasting well, probably better for the extra bottle age

Got this wine really cheap, around $17 from the PALCB on a Chairmans selection. Still has some resounding tannins. Lots of lead pencil and dark red fruit folllowed by a touch of brett. Maybe a bit corked as well although not bad.

A wine of excellent depth and flavor. Just lovely. Bottling it for as long as we did may have helped. But this is simply a fine wine. Too bad that it’s the last bottle.

Excellent, excellent wine. Very full, deep flavor. Rich cherry flavor. But really rich and wonderful. I’m sorry that we’re almost out of them. Served for Carolyn Nunamaker’s birthday.

A lovely wine. Some oak, cherry at the finish, a great nose -- really nice depth to it. THe bottle talks about “currant”; whatever it is, it has depth and body to it. Got better the m ore it sat. Served with steak and baked potato. A very nice bottle
