Dark crimson colour. Sweet cherry on the nose with hints of cherry brandy. Medium to full body, good structure, sour cherries and lingonberries on the palate, good length and balance, quite elegant, just a touch spicy. In fact, it is surprisingly good for the year, the sweet fruit seems to be well balanced with enough of fresh berry acidity and good tannic structure. Very long fruity aftertaste. Very fine indeed. Ready, but will keep for years.

A lot of cherries in the bouquet (positive). Very juicy and full bodied. A soft blockbuster with a lot of alcohol and sweetness. Still very young. Would like to try this 5 years from now.

Zachy's auction w/ some CTers (Marea - 240 Central Park South): Some pepper, it's nice and lovely and seems to be in an ideal drinking window - very smooth and easy. Great wine!

Washington State against the rest of the World (Park Hotel Weggis): Very acidic, weird fruit and unharmonious, definitely not flawed or corked but not good.

RUSSK One of my favorites from the WW Spanish Tasting (Manny). Ready now. Juicy. Reminiscent of a Tuscan, with it's juicy acidity. RP99
