  Red cherry and raspberry fruit with a nice core of dusty earth, forest floor, and licorice. Still holding strong after 13 years with a nice long finish.

  2/6/2016 - Rich.Herbs Likes this wine:

  Like last time, a lot of sediment so decanting is a must. At first a bit sharp and funky with a smooth mature finish. An hour later, more integrated - enough tannin to give it backbone, but smooth, earthy, with a touch of dark fruit and mellow spices. Integrating very nicely, drink now or wait two more years for something very mellow. Plan ahead and decant for at least an hour.

  More sediment than I've ever encountered. Well balanced, sultry, spicy and overall very satisfying complement to our Provençal daube. Should cellar well for a few more years.

  Cork soaked through to top. Not good so down the drain it went. Foolish buy 4 years ago when I didn't know better.
