Deep ruby, with a compelling nose of cedar and autumn woods. The tannins here are completely resolved, and the fruit is perhaps a bit faded, allowing mature notes of earth, Darjeeling tea, and a well-integrated herbal element to show. I'd guess this was just a bit past peak - would've liked to try it 3 years ago. Still, a nice bottle with food.

From Mag. This was really showing well right out of the gate. Lots of leather,cedar,dried cherries, dried plums and tobacco on the nose. Palate had some nice fresh acidity,dark plums, a little cassis,leather,cigar box into a lively and classic finish. Really showing well.

nice red fruit, leather; tannins virtually resolved; fading on day two, but still serviceable

Wine is past it's prime but drinkable. Too broken down, would have been good 4-5 years ago.
