Deep garnet in color; raisins, blackberries, and oak on the nose; medium minus acidity; medium tannins; tastes like black cherries, molasses, and a hint of chocolate with a long finish. Probably a little past prime, but still tasty. Jason says it's ok.

Opened and poured - dark and cense - mature and smooth, with cherry and cherry notes, Fairly broad and lush, but lacking some energy and pizazz. From its younger precocious years, this has mellowed nicely and still offers a level of quality and enjoyment.

I should have drunk the last two bottles 10 years ago! Still hints of its former excellence (see 11/28/08), but acidity predominates. I enjoyed it, nevertheless.

The previous bottle had faded, but this one was up to old standards - see 11/28/2008. No more in the cellar now, so it was good to end on a high note.
