Despite some raisining reflecting its age, the wine held up fairly well. Dominant flavor of cassis and stewed black fruit and ripe cherries. A pleasant surprise from a bottle that had been lost in my cellar.

This wine is just spectacular. The color is a dark purple with some brick. The nose has sweet aromas of plum pudding and brandy soaked plums. The taste is balanced with deep, concentrated flavors of cassis, black cherry cobbler, plum pudding and trifle with a hint of sherry. The finish is medium long on candied black fruit.

A bit over the hill. Somewhat faded fruit, carmel, toast. A year ago probably would have been better.

Amarone-like. Full-bodied with cassis, raisen, and black cherry. Continued to open up throughout the night.
