I’m not sure this bottle was correct. It was certainly interesting, but it had a kind of overwhelming olive briny note not present in any of the other notes.

The Ravenswood Library Wines (M/M Blue Oval's): Courtesy of Blue Oval. Bright red berry fruit aromas follow on the palate, joined by warm spice tones. Develops a terrific wild strawberry note, perhaps even some blueberry too. Has a very enjoyable candied red zin fruit palate. Very fresh and vibrant. One of the stars in tonight's lineup.

Have to give this 90 for what it is...pure joy...pop and pour...plenty of dark fruit with some spice...smooth finish with a touch of acidity...how is this 20 years old?

Enjoyed with mole poblano. This was delicious - definitely mature, but a fresh bottle with miles to go. Tannic structure still well intact, big fruit has given way to tobacco, spice notes.

Tangy, rich raspberry. The higher alcohol shows a bit on this. Still tasting good at plus 20 years.
