  Brick red. Lots of secondary flavors, tobacco, anise, soft mature tannins, and red currants.

  Enjoyed with spaghettini, this poured light to medium body, lots of florals and feminine notes in the nose - some interesting secondaries I can't quite classify - almost antiseptic/medicineal in a good way. Lively and fresh acidity, with some tannin still. Not much sweet fruit, but enough to keep it somewhat in balance. Will put under vacuvin for a day and see what happens and update more. Looking back at the Parker note from 2001, I have no idea what wine he was writing about, because this seems so far off from that note....I suppose that type of evolution is possible, but I can't say because I didn't try this in its youth.

  Smells of chestnuts, dried fig, grilled meats and dark chocolate. The palate is full, round and glossy. There's plenty of mocha/chocolate notes and a jube-like quality to the fruit. It gets more savoury with air and tannins are relatively plump yet the wine has freshness.
