Light and mild raspberry fruit and some spice, but no tannins and clearly past peak. Too, plain and underwelming for the vintage--an early drinker held way too long.

This had nice currents and red fruit on the nose with toasty oak, olives, and some chocolate and coffee impressions. The palate was smooth and elegant with layers of flavor from the oak and fruit that persisted on a nice finish with fine tannins. Well made and fruit forward with lots of barrel showing.

I don't remember the specifics, but remember enjoying this wine with a steak dinner. Not spectacular, just well made and tasty.
