Spicy nose with just a hint of oxidative developed character. Very deeply fruited with intense mixed berry and dried earth dominating the slight hint of developed notes. Plump and fleshy with good length.

Not a virgin anymore - My first dinner at Bern's (Bern's Steakhouse, Tampa, FL): Dinner ar Bern's. Aromas of earth and dried dark fruits with a touch of smoke. Nice dark fruit flavors wrapped with black minerals and toast. Very sound and sleek, but a bit monolithic. Good acid backbone and enjoyable finish, but somewhat angular in that wine is not well integrated. Nice mouthfeel and density. Quite enjoyable, but not profound. Clearly, not over the hill, but doubt it imporves.

Second Night in Mecca (Berns): Full red pink color. Pale aroma of dusty red fruit. Nice pale dustry red fruit on the palate with strawberry notes. A very nice mature burgundy, even if a bit simple.
