Clear medium red with clear edges. Nice mid weight Bordeaux nose, dusty wood floors, dried mushroom, plums, and some funk. Dry earthy, woody dried plum flavours and a balanced finish.

I decanted this in cellar and served blind to those into wine. Some guesses of Burgundy or Sangiovese, and I can see why. Lots of black cherries, fairly high acids, resolved tannins. A touch of a pruney note, fully mature but not past it. This was part of a mixed lot we paid very little for, quite happy with it. B+/B

With K and Miranda at home at dinner (meat loaf). Rich ruby color, all the way to the rim. Lovely cedary bouquet. Shy. Flavors are very rich, mature. Even a bit "past," it seems, on the finish. Sweet fruit. I think this wine has gone jut a bit "over." 5-10-13-6: 84/100.

Fully mature and showing lots of sweetness to what's left of the decadent fruit. Lots of cedar spice complexity on the finish.
