Overall flavor profile never really developed. Subtle earth and aged fruit flavors, but didn't develop as we had hoped based on other tasting notes we have seen.

Quite amazing for its age - I was apprehensive when I opened it. Color - slightly brownish tinge to the red, like red brick. Nose - slightly floral, a bit of earth, not much fruit. On the palate, good acidity (good food wine, drank with Beef Stroganoff, a creamy-rich sauce), some red fruit, like dried cherries, medium body, full flavored without being heavy weight. Finish nicely balanced between the acidity and core fruit. Held up very well over the years.

Very tasty and smooth. Definitely at end of drinkability cycle. Brown in color and slighty watery edges but still very nice. Shold have drank 1-3 years earlier and could/would have been 92 points.

Well made and rounded. Perfect cork condition, no seepage.
No formal notes.
Can still go for some time, say 2020.

This bottle was tired, although still enjoyable - should have enjoyed sooner.
