@ The Office w/ John Kongsgaard: Sweet & earthy brambly blackberry aromas. Still loads of chewy, medium tannin. Sweetly fruited w/ loads of harmony, red fruited and pollenesque. 96 was the first Arietta vintage and it started as mostly Cab Franc, co-fermented with Merlot.

Much impressed. This wine was showing very well. Plenty of black, blue and red fruits with nice sweet Oak and dried herbs. Smooth but a very nice food acidity.

Decanted and served. This mature Cab Franc-Merlot blend showed beautifully with saddle leather, dried flowers, cassis, supple tannins and pencil lead. Drink now.

This wine is showing beautifully right now . Resolved tannins with bountiful, lucious black fruit and the perfect amount of acidity to carry it through a long smooth finish . Great bottle of mature wine !

Bordeaux like with black raspberries, black cherries, licorice, leather, earthiness, and hints of chocolate and floral in the nose. Black cherries, blackberries, and currants in the flavor. A full bodied wine with nice complexity and a long finish. Definitely ready now.
