Nice even brick color. Slightly stinky barnyard nose. Medium bodied, soft entry, strong clear red and blue fruit, fully resolved tannins, and a savory medium to long finish. Once you got past the nose, it was divine.

Tasted from 3 separate bottles from Crush. Upon it was very austere, with mostly earth, sage, and underbrush notes. However, it opened over the course of an hour to generous fruit with a nice tannin structure showing. Very balanced and old school-wish I had more.

A bit of raison on the nose; Good edge; A bit of stinky cheese; Quite powerful

This bottle didn't show well, even time in decanter didn't help. (The 1999 Corison easily topped it, that night.)
