Strong note of strawberry/raspberry preserve, dried currants and coffee/mocha. Full bodied, moderate to low acidity, and moderate + astringency. Very chewy. Finishes rather short a distinct jammy aftertaste.

Still impressive in size, this wine has loads of black rasberry fruit and hints of pastry crust, notes of molten chocolate, creme brulee and freshly roasted coffee beans. I'd say this wine has at least 5yrs more to go, if not more. Delicious still and in no danger of decline.

Deep inking dark color. Opened and got a funky nose of brett. Upon tasting got seriouos blue and black fruits. After about an hour still got brett on the nose with blue fruit starting to show. Some chalkiness there as well. Decant finish, but there is touches of eat there. Liked it now, but could be drank now or later. Think it will stay where it is at.

Took to Vegas and drank at "Emeral's" in MGM for $25 corkage, definetly worth it. Ripe, and full bodied, fruit beat out the alcohol, easily. Really good finish and big, fragrant nose.

Good wine that I think was better in its youth. I had a bottle on released and loved it.

Requires decanting, primarily for sediment.
