OCW4Poker XII - Wines of Washington (WCC - Irvine CA): This was left over from the previous night. Surprisingly dark color, no sign of fading at 11 years old. Fruit is holding up well although not a sophisticated wine, it does show leather, tar, and muted fruit.

A little woody initially, but gets much better with some air as the oak integrates with the rich black cherry fruit and savoury leathery, coffee and earthy elements emerge. Rich, polished and drinking very nicely now with tannins mostly resolved.
