Held onto it for many years as an experiment ... which ran amok ... this was a tad over the hill and upon open had an unpleasant spoilt odor but its aromatics settled down over time and took on a fruitier tone. The palate also seemed over the hill with off flavors, although over time it too rallied and showed some blueberry and cassis. Overall, however, this was overly dense and sweet for me.

Sweet black cherry predominates. Enjoyable, but lingering hotness detracts.

This wine actually gained some complexity and became more intresting over te last two years.

Had with burgers. Nice bottle. Seemed to have settled down a little since last taste.
