Tar, violets, dark toast, perfume, sweat and an intriguing nose. The palate is crunchy, loaded with acid, very tart, not terribly giving. Drying tannins, fairly harsh.

Medium to dark red with some brick. Muted nose with just a hint of dark berries. Light body with no tannins and very little in the way of flavor. Very disappointing compared to past bottles. Either this was a bad bottle of the wine is over the hill. This was my last bottle so I'll never know which it is.
