Popped and poured. Very light garnet color. Nose of tart dried cranberry, pomegranate, a bit of fresh earthy soil and hints of sweet baking spices in the background. The nose had more promise but unfortunately the palate was mostly acid and not much else. Some dried red fruits there and a bit of cedar but no real tertiary flavor development. Medium- tannin at best. I think the previous note of over the hill is probably right unless this develops because while there is plenty of acid to keep drinkable, the fruit is missing. Would have been much better 2-3 years ago if I had to take a guess.

Burgundy color with a restrained bouquet and flavor of cherries, raspberries and Pinot Noir spiciness, typical of the Flower's style. Good balance and nuance with a nice finish.

Way past its prime. Can’t believe I held on to it for so long (10 years)
