Light to medium purple with minimal garnet. Green fruit and cedar. Palate is much like a Pinot with pepper spice and cherry. Some green notes on spice. Moderate acid and minimal tannins with a long finish.

The funk finally blew off after 3 days. In the past 4 years I have consumed several bottles of this wine and the one characteristic that stands out most is a barnyard aroma that detracts from the enjoyment of a wine that has otherwise great flavors. Cheese really helps this wine allow the dark red fruit flavors to penetrate. I will try another bottle soon with agressive decanting to see if it could accelerate the liberation of the funk without too much oxidation.

Very strong french funk in the nose. Wine may be past its drinkable period. Dark brown limb and dark purple body. Cooked fruit, prunes, sandy tanin finish.

Leather, candied cherries, rose petal, sage. Finishes with fine tannins and orange zest. Lovely. Paired well with duck.

Smooth easy to drink red. Thin with tart fruit, leather and raspberry.
