Wine is now descending. Or maybe I should say it has descended. I still got some fruit after 30 minutes and if you like aged wine you may enjoy it. Definitely strong tertiary notes but doesn’t hold enough aged this long.

Held up wonderfully without missing a beat, still had full body/flavor and some time if desired. Drank with an Italian sausage pizza. Complimented the fennel with the berry and herbaceousness. Unfortunately don't have another to try with BBQ...

Garnet color in the glass, fairly clear looking. Nose of potpourri, red berries and red cherries. Flavors of red berries, strawberries and raspberries. Medium acidity, medium tannin, full bodied. Drink or hold but I'd lean towards drink now.

Sadly, a bit past its prime. The spice, ground pepper and bright red fruit that have always characterized this wine have given way to something softer and more muted. I can't honestly say that it has developed but rather its as if its the same wine, just quieter. Soft red fruit with a hit of spice and a moderately long finish. Drink now.
