September 23, 2005 - Medium-dark ruby colour. Aromas of cinnamon hearts, hay, and barnyard. Medium-bodied, soft, with mint, cherry, and currant. Short finish.

August 9, 2004 - Somewhat restrained, but rather enjoyable after about 90 minutes of air. Not a stunner, but fine with dinner. Chianti-like, but 30% cab.
