There's still a lot of mushroomy dark fruit here, but there's noticeable vanilla and it's grainy and bitter with unresolved tannin. Too much oak? Not helped by being drank outside on a hot day with the wrong food, it's helped by being at proper temp inside on day two. But it's still not very good.

quite attractive nose of candied fruit, stable and toast. lot's of fruit in this one. the most balanced so far. noce balance in fruits (cherry of course, raspberry, ) sweetness at the end, acidity and tannins. the most tannic wine of the evening. and the groups WOTN(not mine) very very nice indeed. medium to long finish.

Italian Wines (Walnut Creek, Ca.): Good fruit, nose with lots of overtones of stinky rubber, rich, tasty, oily taste in the mouth.
