Garnet color in glass, remarkably clear looking throughout. Nose of Kirsch, iron, wet stones and a little bit of red fruit. Flavors of tangy red berries dominate with a hint of minerals on the clipped finish. Tart acidity, resolved tannin, medium body. Drink five years ago.
I recently did an inventory of my cellar and found this bottle that should've been drank about 5-6 years ago. It still had some life in it but very little. If you happen to still have one you better drink it soon and fast and have a backup bottle handy.

Dried cherry and cacao powder nose. Rich mouth with some fruit still remaining. Excellent return of bitter cacao on the finish. This wine has aged really well. In it's youth it was more opulent, but now it has taken on some elegance that wasn't there before.

Continues to age nicely. Notes of black cherry and plum, with fruit still plentiful. Very soft mouth feel. Medium body, nice dark color.

Has aged well but I suspect is at its peak. Beautiful soft silky mouthfeel and has added some sublety and complexity in the last few years.
