Still has a lot of fruit. Soft tannins. Medium finish. Dark berries, licorice, and tar. Better than we expected for a 17 year old wine from Washington.

I "found" this in our cellar after downloading this app - didn't realize it was still in there. Although past its prime, it's well balanced having lost a lot of the fruit I remembered.

A little disjointed, fruit not integrated well with alcohol. Smooth tanins(too smooth for me). Easy drinker, non wine drinkers seemed to enjoy the wine.

Spicy, full fruit nose with a little heat; deep dark opaque purple color; disappointing taste, no structure, flat, with very little finish. Maybe past peak. I expected more from a signature Chateaus SM.
