Deep garnet in color. Nose of dark berries, dark chocolate, and hint of wet dog. Tastes of black cherries, mocha, blueberry, and hint of tar. At or just past peak. Lovely fruit and acidity. Resolved tannins. Drink now.

Mature wine, will certainly not improve - at its peak. Beautiful nose, very aromatic, complex aromas of black olive, tobacco, leather. Similar aromas in the mouth + minty/balsamic aromas. Nice lenght. A good buy for $45...

Medium/deep ruby core, narrow pale ruby rim. Nose is quite developed, showing bilberry and black fruit but also rich earth and notes of funk. Full bodied, ripe black and blue fruits, rich but with fresh contrasting acidity, plenty of earth notes and a touch of herbs on the good length finish. Much better then I expected, drinking well. Should hold for a while.

A deep colour and a ripe, open, spicy nose; the palate is quite full, with mature fruit, well-developed vegetal overtones and a touch of smoke. Slightly dry on the finish, but fine overall.

Either flawed or past peak. Not getting anything out of it.
