Saturday, May 2, 2020 - Dark ruby in color with some slight clearing at the edges. Full, fragrant & attractive nose of ripe red fruit aromas of cherries & plums with overtones of aged tobacco & cedar notes, earthy/dusty, leather notes, spices, minty/eucalyptus, cocoa/coffee grounds & a hint of oak/vanilla in the background. Medium-full bodied of a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of sour cherries, blueberries & dark plums, spices, herbs, minerals & a hint of oak/vanilla. Lingering smooth finish. Drinks quite well at present but at 40 years of age it appears to be at its peak of development, so please drink up! A well-aged but very aromatic & supple wine. Quite enjoyable.
