Extremely dark and deep color for such an old wine. Great concentration and lots of extract. Almost chewable. High acidity, round tannins and salty minerality. Boquet is muted, probably due to the moldy cork. Bottle level mid shoulder.

Third rendition of Avery Family Cellar Wine Dinner - Root day and '14 DRCs to the rescue! (Mirabelle restaurant, Washington D.C.): Very fresh example. Bright but simple red fruits, cherry, mineral and earth. Good concentration, sweet red fruit and a short bitter finish. A simple village wine that should have been drunk in the first ten years.
