With Michael Lehmann and Brett Raven in Brett's office after work. Medium ruby, strangely lighter at the edge. Michael says the nose is corned beef and cabbage, with Coleman's mustard – ditto on the flavor. I don't see how -- I smell rose petals and little else other than soft fruit. In the mouth, it's very tannic and bereft of fruit. It's downright weird in the finish – maybe it is "swill," as Michael said. Not pleasant at all. 5-9-3-2: 69/100.

The wine had good flavor but the body was washed out. Past its prime.
