Palate: much bigger than the nose. There is a bit of fruit (plum) and lots of baking spice. There is a hint of vanilla and a great balance of acidity. Medium+finish of dried fruits.
This wine isn't going to get any better but is great at $20 or so right now.

This wine is showing its age but gracefully.
Color: Brick red
Nose: rather small, hints of soy and cherry
