Fruit forward with out much balance but you can tell it's mature. More enjoyable on the second day so a slow oxidation helps smooth it. Don't wait too much longer to enjoy.

The nose started dark with moist earth tones that were immediately replaced by intense blue and red berry fruit. Hints of cola and cinnamon sugar mixed with the fruit to create a rich and ripe aroma; but not over the top in any way. On the palate it was medium bodied, showing ripe mixed berries with earth and notes of mushroom being the only give-away to this wine's age. The finish ended dry, with unresolved tannin still lingering after all of these years. This wine may never find it's pinnacle but it's in a beautiful place at this moment.

BLACK CHERRIES, RASPBERRIES, AND LEATHER IN THE NOSE. VERY DEEP, RICH BLACK CHERRIES IN THE FLAVOR. MEDIUM TO LONG FINISH.
