Spicy Cabernet aromas and flavors, but alas, not much fruit here, and what there is seems to have the spice work against it, not with it. Dense texture. The wine improves a bit with 1-1.5 hours in the decanter, but not all that much. A real disappointment, as most wines I've had from ungrafted wines have been super. Cellared since original release.

Rubino profondo. Naso molto animale, con pelliccia, cuoio, tabacco, goudron, ribes, mora, pepe nero, menta. Bocca fresca, rispondente, gradevole. Lungo

Deep color but green, tannic, charmless and virtually fruitless as well. Has this just done a nose dive over the past year, or was this bottle an outlier. In any case, not good at all.

Tart cherry and rhubarb in the mouth. The nose is barn and oxidized metal.

A nice wine. A little on the thin side for my taste, but, nice notes of strawberry.
