Deep garnet in color. No bricking. Red fruit, damp forest floor, slight cedar notes. No oak is perceived. Bright and lean on the palate with some blackberry but the acidity of raspberry, maybe black raspberry. Time has done good to this bottle. It is mellow. It no longer runs, it walks but at a steady and assertive pace. It is peaceful, graceful, elegant. No, it isn't classified Bordeaux. It can certainly pass for it but it doesn't have to.

This wine showed some nice oak and cassis with warm vanilla at the end. The aging took much of the dark fruits characteristics away but was very nice overall.
