Synthetic rubbery style cork. Wine maintained good ruby color. Muted nose of raspberry. Light red fruits (raspberry and pomegranate) and a little sour on the palate. Very little tannin. Short finish. Even feels a little light on the acid. Not sure of this wine's role... doesn't seem to be a palate cleanser with food or something that offers a lot on its own.

Lots of heat, but a drinkable fruit bomb. Enjoyed other Location blends more, although this still fit the style. Hoping it mellows out over the next day or so.

Way past it's prime. Color: rust. Very oxidized. Still some fruit and floral notes on nose. Taste shows some violets but little to no fruit at this point--more akin to a sherry with the oxidation. Would rate at 70 right now but not worth putting a number to it. Fill line was low due to age and some cork leakage but foil remained intact. Family member cellar. 60% Merlot and 40% Cab.

Still tastes good. Dull garnet color--pretty much brick red. Aromas dwindling a bit, but still plenty of blueberry, blackberry, and candied cherry on the nose. It's not huge, but you can tell it was a big wine at one point. Drinking fine. (The cooler may have extended its life.) medium acid. Tannins present, but not spicy--some leathery notes. Medium body.

A surprising amount of sediment. Not too much, but worth a quick decant.
