Fragrant fruit both black and red. Blueberry; blackberry along with raspberry and rhubarb. Accompanied with road tar; dusty tannins; persimmon; tobacco leaf. Light to medium bodied, finishes thin. Nicely spiced and drinking well now.

Saturated med ruby, aromas of toasty oak, tobacco, faint blackberry, b4, a4, t4, big w/gritty, rustic astringent tannins, slight herbal streak, nothing special but certainly drinkable, bit too much wood

Not as full bodied as an earlier encounter. It could be a dumb period or just a unexiciting bottle.

I must revise my initial assessment of this wine. After pouring out a glass on 12/11 and being rather disappointed with it, I squirted the remainder with a wine-preservative gas and left it on the counter. Three days later I returned to it, and much to my surprise the wine was lovely--the somewhat "baked" initial quality had dissipated; the wine tasted fresh and racy, with bright acidity on the attack, excellent cherry fruit-flavors in the mid-palate, and a long, drying finish full of (pleasant. not sharp) mouth-coating tannins. I don't have any more of this wine but if I did I would put the rest of the bottles away for 2-3 years before (full of anticipation!) cracking the next one open. NB: I'm still drinking this wine nearly a week after opening it (using a spray-in gas as a between-drinking preservative) and it remains immensely satisfying.
