Aged beyond the point where it is even interesting. Probably was at its peak about 10 years ago. Dull color and a nose of dried prunes and 4 day old Port. Palate was flabby and uninteresting. These are done.

@ Mr Chows'. David's wine. Decanted for 1-1/2hrs. Initially sensed VA(nail polish), but after 1/2 hr in the glass determined it was just excessive oak. Savory forest flavors. I wouldn't buy this wine so I can't give it a 90. Clearly inferior to Merry edwards 99 Olivet Lane we had 2 nights previous(as was the 02 D'Angerville clos des Ducs).

Medium ruby. Dark berries, cola nose. Slightly out of balance for me. Maybe more time will mute the acidity, that is present now. I think the wine will improve with time.
