Tons of rich dark berry fruits. A bit overcast by a definite burnt rubber note. Quite forceful tannins. Medium length. Solid wine but for me spoiled a bit by the burnt rubber, which I see a few others have noticed but not everyone.

Nearly black, dark purple in color. Forest, hint of dark berries and grilled meat on the nose. Full bodied with good structure and medium to long finish.

cracking wine - drinking very well - nicely balanced - a very strong showing indeed - the fruit and tannins still have sufficient acidity to maintain body

Really well balanced fruit, still fresh though at end of drinking window. Very enjoyable.

The Judge's farewell. Not that remarkable with a mesquite chateaubriand. Drink up.
