Bricked at the rim, but showing a lively cherry-leaning-to-maroon at the core. It doesn’t take long for the wine to find its foundation and start to show itself. Tobo, cassis, graphite, baked fruits, cedar, more tobo and more graphite fill the mouth. This be good. Excellent attack, but a short mid-palate leading to a velvety finish that doesn’t linger quite long enough, but enough to melt the day’s stresses from the shoulders and back. All this from a less than stellar year; all this for $17.00. Some shadow of sediment on the shoulder. 12.5% alc. Not decanted. With roasted leg of lamb. Recommended.

From magnum. Brick red. Sweet Cabarnet fruit. Very good now, but will keep for several years. Classic Medoc.
