This wine was tasted in double-blind fashion. The bottle had been accessed by K.A. from another individual's private cellar (which had not been temperature-controlled). While it may very well be that all bottles of this particular wine are now too old, I am reluctant to come to such a conclusion based upon a less-than-optimally-cellared bottle. This particular bottle had wine which was amber and showed aromas of tobacco, damp earth and mushrooms. Both the nose and palate were devoid of fruit and there was no enjoyment factor whatsoever.

this wine has arrived at a nice place. lots of fruit on a solid frame. not complex but very satisfying. i offered these thoughts to keith but he remains mum regarding his experience.

this wine has gone as far as it is going to go. may even be slipping a little bit. glad i had the chance to follow its development.
