  Medium dark red, slightly garnet centre, pretty solid to the edge. Cedar, oak, cherry nose. Palate is broadly fruity and still laced with oak. Sour cherry is quite persistent, firm finish. It is rather short on acid but don't dismiss it foe that. It is a warm hug of a wine. 22 years old and not fading.

  Root Day - cork broke upon removal leaving a portion stuck inside to the neck of the bottle. Decanted through a sieve off a good couple of tablespoons of sediment (most I’ve seen in a while). In the glass the wine is a beautifully hued orange and mahogany - it glows. On the nose it’s old leather, dried red flowers, crushed cigar, and dried red fruit. It’s very smooth and luxurious on the palate with fully resolved tannins, medium plus acidity, warm (but not too) heat from the alcohol and delicate flavours of dried red fruit, black licorice, leather, tobacco and spice. The finish is long with the spice, fruit, tobacco and leather all continuing. Wonderful wine even with the poor cork and large amount of sediment.

  Dark red and brick colour. Nose shows oak, although dissipated with time. Nose also is a little prune along with the sour cherry. Fruit is not fresh anymore; it is mature, leathery and slightly sweet. The finish is dry. Time to drink up!
