Still drinking well with rounded out black fruit and soft cherry flavors. Mellow tannins. Very smooth on the palate. Probably will start to decline soon.

Aromas of cherry, sawdust, and faint earthiness. Medium body with dark berry flavors and minerality. Smooth finish with a good dose of acidity. Would make a good food wine.

Dark, almost black in color. Nose of cherries and oak. Sweet red cherries on the palate with some chewy, smoky oak. More time won't improve - suggest drinking up. More than quaffable at the state monopoly store sale price of $16. Would not want to be in at original retail.

Earthy, fruit has declined. Still some soft tannins. All in all quit good at 12 years old.

Similar notes as last bottle. Nice, sale priced wine from the state monopoly store.
