Tastes of tar, earth, leather, iodine, with little fruit. Almost Burgundian in nature, with tastes that could only come from an old world wine. A pleasant enough wine to try, but is likely in decline, and has no aging potential at this point.

This had a strong iodine/nori note, with a bit of red fruit behind it, and a decent finish -- like a low-budget Chateauneuf, but not as complex. The fruit seemed to drop out gradually over about six hours, so I suspect this may be going downhill.

Dark baked fruit and tobacco notes. Smooth and mellowed tannins - drinking well at its age.

Pop and pour. Very pleasant. Dark fruit. A little astringency on the mid palate. It was not very good the next day.

Medium body and simple, but with pleasant varietal flavors. Raspberries, dried herbs, hint of licorice and black pepper.
