Provenance= poor. Cork was in tact, seepage but did not crumble with standard corkscrew. Bottle had no vinegar.

V: medium viscosity. Dark crimson ring over inky crimson in glass
N: stewed fruit on open. Blew off to tangy fruit, tobacco, hit of vanilla.
P: mild stewed fruit. cola, sweet and tart cherry, dr. Pepper, tobacco, salinity.

Very pleasantly surprised with this bottle. Two more to go.

V: medium viscosity. Dark red in glass
N: stewed fruit and mint on open. Blew off to blackberries.
P: mild stewed fruit. Blackberries and flavor really popped when we sipped along Brie mashed potatoes.

To ensure we weren’t biased we sipped this alongside a cheap but decent 2018 California cab. This ‘05 was way better.

Excellent. Crimson brown, a bit thinner than expected, but not in a bad way. Picked up the currants others noted, and some cedar/green pepper. Fun wine.
