Unfortunately the wine was way past its peak. Fruit was gone and left a lot of earth and a slight damp smell, though not unpleasant. Would have loved to see this about 4 years ago :)

Like many David Bruce wines, this bottling suffered a surfeit of oak during it's youth. The fruit has now emerged, with plummy, dark currant aromas and flavors. A nice earthiness. Good volume and strength on the finish. Drink soon.

Interesting--earthy quality. Darker fruit with deep strawberry notes.

Probably at its peak, this was nicely complex with some good fruit still there.
