Lighter bodied and missing depth and structure. Fruit forward with blackberry bramble and light notes if leather and cedar, fruit forward but fairly one noted. Not sure what happened with this one, no real tannins or structure to speak of, not quite flabby but leaning that direction. Very disappointed at this price point. Would be a decent $15 table wine but not much more.

Bottle was seeping so I decided to open it and see what was inside... All in all, for this wine being 20 years old it was in really good shape. The cork wasn't in the best shape, but the wine didn't show it... Still had some dark fruits in the front with a surprising amount of structure left. Tannins were dusty and fading, but still present. Overall this was still a solid bottle, but IMO it has already peaked, so why wait to drink, not going to get any better.
