Found in back of wine fridge and opened at family BBQ. Inky purple. Nose of pepper, garrigue, loam, blueberry, moca. Layers of exuberant, smoky black plum fruit on the palate with brambles, cayenne, and garrigue also. Very nice balance of moderate acidity and smoothed-off tannins. Long finish of sweet blue fruit and grip. Doing pretty darn well and very much alive at age ten.

Dark ruby-purple. Nose full of musky blueberry. Palate of red fruits, rocks, asphalt, pepper. Very nice.
