Dark red color with clear ripeness. Dull sweet big aroma of dark ripe berries. Ripe strawberries, warm typical sun-ripened berries, barrel and leather. Delicious.

Clear garnet, browning at the edge, moderate sediment requiring a decant or first pour. Heady kirsch aromas and flavors; a fairly big ripe example, moderate structure which is smoothing out. Really in a nice place tonight. YFS

Seems to have lost a little life. Good bottle but fruit, nose, finish were all a little less pronounced than I would have liked. Probably time to drink the last bottle

Slow O'd for an hour. Too old: smokey raspberries, but oxidation is creeping in. Drink now.
