    December 15, 2016 - From Art's cellar. Not dead yet, but on the wrong side of its former peak. Light crimson bowl, amber to a thin orange rim. Red fruit, plenty of cedar in the nose. Mouth was dried plum (not prunes), still structured though the tannins had totally resolved. Wine needs food as the alcohol does rear its head in the finish. Time to drink up.
