Medium-dark garnet, slight browning at the edge. One-dimensional, a bit tannic. Pleasant, sweet aroma but a bit old. Faded after several hours. A bit past its prime but still drinkable, but definitely for short-term drinking. Ric

Dark ruby. Expressive nose of torrefaction, sweet fruit compote, prune, very perfumed. Very sweet and full bodied palate, lacking a bit of freshness and elegance. Difficult with food.

A Few Wines with BBQ (Chez Whitehead - Northbrook IL): Small glass, brief note. Mostly mature black fruit that I am certain was once powerful and enticing, but not just mature. And the heat hasn't gone anywhere.
