First review on CT! Used the drink now report and remembered I had this wine. Upon opening a very fruity nose with clove. First tasting had very jammy, raspberry fruit, but little else. Decanted for 90 min., and it smoothed out with nice berry fruit and chocolate flavors. Tasted much more balanced after decanting, though probably past its prime. Glad I opened it now!

Oops! Just realized that I consumed this bottle five years ago, but had marked consumed a 2003 and wrote tasting notes on the wrong bottle.
So here are my notes from April 2007, consuming this bottle...
Very rich (but not overly sweet), with nice dark berries & spice. The alcohol still is not smoothed out and it accents the initial taste, but is not detectable on the finish. Very nice. I will wait a couple of years to consume my last two bottles.

Totally cooked. Just goes to show what happens to wine when it's stored at room temp.

Sweeter"", more of a T&A bite. Slightly effervescent.
