  Very nice! Port nose, blackberry palate. Smooth and balanced with full body.

  Purple color with a barnyard aroma, but with a rather compelling and pure flavor of red cherries. The wine would need more nuance and balance, and a more elegant finish, to get a higher rating, but still quite good, with the aroma not carried over to the taste. Much better than the previous bottle.

  Purple color with a nose that smelled like a wet dog. Plum flavor with a pepper finish. Rather mono-dimensional with little depth or nuance, and with a fairly short finish. Nothing to write home about. Could be another over-rated Parker wine, or just over the hill.

  I'm not going to rate this because it is obviously past its peak. It opened up over time, but not enough to be great.

  From a Magnum. Medium body, good concentration, well-balanced, smooth integrated dark fruit flavors, no noticeable oak, nice medium-length finish. A fine bottle!
