  Unusual is my first reaction; blend of Cab Franc, Merlot and a hint of Cabernet Sauvignon. My wife commented, "taste like magic marker", I laughed and asked her did she mean in a chemical way? I noticed the eucalyptus comment and was curious if that's what she intended. No, magic marker. I think this is typical of the Jeannie in the bottle after 17 years.Its definitely an old world feel. It's likely past its prime, but I'm still enjoying. Chalky, earth tones, and some tobacco. Not much fruit.

  Definitely past peak. Stewed when opened but with a decant moved more towards fruit. Still had some structure and tannins left. It's possible with more optimal storage this could have come together better, but it feels like the fruit died before the tannins could soften. Interesting flavors of Indian spices--turmeric, curry.
