  Has matured very nicely. Dark purple, full bodied, smooth dark fruit flavors, hints of oak and tannins, good acidity. Open an hour before serving.

  Almost imperseptable aroma in the glass, robist on the tongue. Notesfof dark cherry when paired with red meat, vanilla finish when paired with aged cheddar. Brighter cherry alone. Very interesting.

  Dark garnet in glass, muted aromas of black fruit and oak. Palate shows sort of a mulled and muddled melange of blackberry, red plum and notes of smoke and cedar, with a touch of cherry cough drop. Tannins imperceptable, and not much structure. All in all, a pleasant enough wine, but not the Phenomenon of prior releases. Very disappointing for what used to be a delightful bottle, which may be due to changes at the winery in winemaking and management. No reason to hold longer, drink up.

  Nice red cherry, subtle earth, and good weight without being overbearing. Very smooth mouthfeel. Long finish with soft acidity.
