Over the hill at this point. Surprisingly timid fruit, little secondary flavors or texture. May have been a bad bottle, although not flawed or corked, just dull. Disappointing.

Drank last night, but did not take notes. What I remember was a nice fragrant nose of cherry, dark berry and spice. Flavors carry over to the palate along with some earth and herbs. Medium bodied with excellent balance and a smooth texture. Nice fruity finish. I expected a lean wine due to the vintage, and while not plush, it certainly has plenty of fruit and stuffing. Very enjoyable.

Dark berries, pine forest and sweet basil on the nose. Bitter cherries, pomegranate, cedar and cloves on the palate. Persistent finish of oak and plum with some alcohol heat.

Cherry dominant, although other red fruit notes. A little boozy, but not unpleasantly so. Light touch of oak.
