  Was gifted this from a friend who held on to it way too long. PNP into rocks glasses in a hotel room. Smells like burnt dust, as if you just turned on the heater on the first cold winter night, or the heating of a kiln or laminating machine. On the pallete, over ripe blueberry and not much else. Obviously past its prime at this point. Still drinkable but not great.

  Great colour still, dark Ruby to garnet edge, near opaque. Nose is caramel, pipe tobacco, plums, white pepper and some deli meat. Smells younger than it is. Good mid weight mouthfeel, lengthy finish too. Flavour matches aromas with a bit of barn in it too. Chalky finish is noticed. Better than I expected.

  Dark and brooding. Dark cherries and plum on the palate. Espresso and vanilla on the nose. Smooth. Enjoyable.

  Very deep, almost opaque garnet red, with brick red rim. Nose is youthful with medium+ intensity. Aromas of raspberry, cherry, vanilla and a hint of mint, fruit cake and raisins. Quite nice, perhaps a bit closed (with some time in glass a touch of licorice). The palate is dry with medium+ acidity, full body with very high alcohol that is a little off-putting. Tannins are medium, dry and gritty. Flavors of red cherry, red currants, tart on the mid palate, tea leaf and black pepper on the medium finish. Not a bad wine, just a little one dimensional. Very clean and very nice on the nose; however, the palate is a little unbalanced with the high alcohol, tartness and gritty tannins.
