At home at dinner (marinated chicken and orzo) with K and Miranda. Nice ruby-cranberry color. Attractive. Nose has polite cherry fruit, and initially at least, that sleek "candle wax" quality. Palate is fairly earthy, coarse; cherry fruit. Much of what I liked about this wine has faded, leaving a decent, but no longer complex or special, wine. It sure didn't age well. 4-10-14-6: 84/100.

With K at home at dinner (coq au vin). Gorgeous ruby. Viscous. Rich bouquet can be smelled from a distance. Bright cherry fruit. Earthy. Exceptional wine in the mouth. Light yet rich. Mouthfilling. Slightly sweet. Not quite as sublime as I remember the 1st time I had this wine, but still fairly complex and certainly quite good. Long on the palate. Probably shouldn't be kept over the long haul. 5-11-16-8: 90/100.

PRETTY RED IN THE BOWL, CHERRIES IN THE AROMA, AND BLACKBERRIES IN THE FLAVOR. LONG FINISH.
