NOSE: raisins; dirty cherry; swirling the wine in the glass releases a faint whiff of cement; about 5.25 hours after uncorking, there's a sweet red licorice note, with a little dash of rolling tobacco.

BODY: color is garnet with slight bricking throughout; color is of medium-shallow depth; medium-light bodied.

TASTE: tannic; bitter; fruit is falling away; somewhat green/weedy; seems to be on its way down; no sweet cherry or balsamic; no tar; hint of camphor; little bit of aged funk; on the lighter side as far as concentration of flavor is concerned; alc. not noticeable; overall, this wine is "fine" --- perhaps even "good" --- but it's not excellent or memorable. Drink Now.

50, 5, 11, 13, 6 = 85
