NOSE: very expressive; warm red fruits; hint of cola; rhubarb; crushed raspberry; smells pleasantly moderately aged.
BODY: dark ruby color with slight bricking; color is of medium depth; medium-light to light bodied.
TASTE: good acidity; hint of leather/funk; seems to be thinning-out a bit; non-descript baked red fruits --- seems a bit past peak, surprisingly; lightly tannic; 13.3% alc. noticeable a little; the Nose makes promises the Palate can't keep; I see this as already on its downslope. Drink Now.
