This was a gift that we had forgotten about, and decided to try. Perhaps many years too late—high high heat, primarily alcohol on the finish. Fruit long gone. Quite disappointing!

Dark red color, but not overly dense. Popped and poured therefore, the wine was a little tight at first. After about 30 minutes this wine really opened up and hit its stride. Nice essence of mint, chocolate, spices, licorice, loam and toast. Excellent balance of tannins and acidity. Sweet layers of figs, blueberries, cocoa, mint and toffee. Wonderful wine that may have a year left of cellar time.

Balanced, elegant, sufficiently fruity.
Cork crumbled upon opening. Brought to Joanna.

Fruit bomb. Dark sweet fruit aroma pouring out. Very juicy and long. Little tannins left. Time to drink up.

Wow. Such a rich taste. Bought from a gentleman (through wine store) selling 'lower end' stuff that he did not want to move.
