Thursday, December 22, 2011 - From an excellent looking bottle with a very high shoulder fill, this wine looked solid with a deep red center and red/orange rims. The nose took a while to show medium- intensity red stone, roses, and a hint of sap.
In the mouth the wine was medium bodied with a nice rounded structure and moderate length. However, it was not particularly complex. While this bottle was only open for an hour and a half before it was consumed at the Village Pub in Woodside, I doubt that it will get appreciably better.
