Saturday, September 21, 2013 - 6th time from my cellar and least favorite to date. Fruit fading. Maybe just a bad bottle since my prior scores ranged from 88-91 and sweet cherry fruit was dominant. Nice nose and color, but lack of fruit on the palate was disappointing. Mostly earth and mineral on the palate. Not bad, but just not as enjoyable as prior bottles.
