  Deeply pigmented reddish brown with heavy sediment. A host of oxidative smells: coffee, tomato paste, brown sugar, beef broth, and some not so moribund whiffs of black pepper and cooked fruit. Palate is a bit better than the nose with the barest bit of sweetness hiding inside some rusty iron, coarse tannin, old tea, and a strong dose of those umeboshi plums. Pretty reminiscent of a 40 year old Petite Sirah if P.S. didn't have an unreal resistance to oxidation and age. This must have been a pretty chunky, rustic wine for many years.

  The color was a blackish red which faded to mahogany at the rim. On the nose, I found potpourri and herbal tealeaves. The palate was still a bit lively with good balance and dried, sour red and black fruits.
