On the way downhill. Not as good as my prior tasting in 6/2010. On nose, nail varnish, black cherry & vegetal flavors. On palate (better than nose), black cherry, blackberry primarily. Medium body / acids / finish. A let down from what I was expecting. 87+/- Would not buy this wine again as storage was not an issue (purchased from winery in 2009 and stored in a cool cellar).

Let air for one hour. Dark fruit, settled tannins with a decent finish.

Reasonable but not inspiring; mild tannins; dark red fruit flavor without complexity; limited finish; better when first opened than 2 hours later.
