On the way down. Not a flawed bottle but fruit fading. Still a pleasant glass but not too much interest. Middle aged and hasn't borne it all that well.

I liked this wine, which I drank from the half bottle. But I was by no means overwhelmed with pleasure. I consider it mediocre or average. Drank half and used the other half for coq-au-vin since I really didn't want to drink any more of it. Mid-good (82.5).

A little bottle variation here - this was still fairly fruit-forward and well integrated but just a little bit on the bland side and if anything a little acidic.

Nice balance of fruit,cedar and tannin with a reasonable backbone and good acidity. Very drinkable indeed.
