  Medium to dark purple with a medium rim. Rasin and old plum with a tobacco and earthy finish. Fine for quaffing , not too complicated.

  Very easy drinking and smooth. Not a 92 but good with BBQ. Pork in a ginger marinated. Gone early in the evening

  Opening nose is prune and dark rasin. With a high proportion of acid over tannins. More blueberry comes late and tannins start to balance with acid. One of the best popcorn with cheese from Parma wines of late.

  3/17 - I waited too long to drink these. They were buried in my cellar. Once I got over the prunish notes (in aroma and in flavor), I could detect dark chocolate cherry cordials. May not be a bad thing that I waited so long. It's given this wine a unique flavor and texture.
  
  3/19 - Update: 2 days later and it tastes even better. I had vacuumed it after the first tasting. This wine may not be for every taster, but I like to peel the layers of an old wine to find its hidden treasures. Texture is creamy, with a lot of sediments in the bottle. I had to let the last glass rest before consuming it. It's also more fruity tonight.
