well past its prime i suspect, but certainly not 'offensive' yet. Browning a little in color. Dominated by remnant tannins now. a faint hint of acetic acid running through nose and palate early after opening, but this partially blew off in an hour or so. Still reasonable, certainly better than the cali cask cab, which was my other option tonight.

(Paul Jaboulet Parallel "45") #1; COLOR-dark; NOSE-some bright cherry; some smokiness; charcoal action; PALATE-kind of gamey; black licorice comes across strong on the mid-palate which most excites me; great little chocolate covered strawberry and cherry flavors; kind of gamey on the mid-palate; this is actually quite enjoyable; really showing well and a great value; quite complex; a little black pepper and beef jerky; perfect Wednesday night wine at $8 bones; GV-87
