Aroma: Dried red berries (cherry, cranberry, raspberry, strawberry), with some underbrush, baking spice and cigar box. Very perfumed and complex.
Taste: Complex red cherry, strawberry and dusty / chalky Pinot Noir notes. Somewhat stewed and oxidized fruit — the flavor is a little less youthful than the aroma. Extremely long and interesting finish. Well integrated and perfectly balanced.
Drink soon, this bottle was surprisingly youthful with a decent amount of fruit remaining, but I suspect some are in decline. Cork in excellent condition.

Dark red in color. Stewed red cherries, licorice, flowers, spice and forest floor on the nose. Palate shows sweet and ripe dark cherries, good mid-palate sap, no tannins or wood, low acidity and a long licorice and violets perfumed finish.

This wine is too sweet. Maybe was stored badly. Very disappointed.
