Cherry red color with no notable thinning. On the nose, this shows toast, smoke, cherry, nutmeg, and a touch of allspice. On the palate, there is a strong sweet cherry core, framed by a toasty barrel notes. The finish starts to show a bit of dry barrel tannin. With time in the glass, cola and black tea notes emerge. Hold or drink.

From magnum, auction purchase. Quite ripe and extracted, but with good acidity. Prodigious amounts of fine, sweet sediment.

Wine of the weekend for Christmas Eve/Christmas Dinners. Held its own and more against some big reserve Napa cabs
