The fruit may be diminishing a bit with the age of this bottle, but it is still very well balanced with a lot of interesting notes, as others have mentioned, of earth, cigar box, and some spice. Bottle was a little cold when first opened and the tannins were strangling the fruit a bit, but it turned out perfectly as it warmed over the course of dinner.

The bright fruits have started to diminish slightly, taking on a sense of overripe, raisin tones, and starting to give way to the non-fruit notes of tea and cigar box. The spicy tones of the Cabernet Franc are starting to show through. That said, the same profile remains from earlier tasting ...
Dark garnet colored, medium to full bodied, bright vibrant flavors (starting to fade) of black berry, cherry and currants with (increasing predominant) tones of tea and cigar box turning to mild tannins and lively acidity on the long, silky, finish.

Opened by Allred. Better than when I last had this 3 years ago. Notes of milky red fruit, spices and firm tannins. 92 points.
