  The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are medium. There is light sediment in the bottle. It smells like cherry, blackberry and seems earthy. It tastes like blackberry and mineral. The body is light/medium. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes short. The wine has low acidity.
  
  Overall quite a good bottle. Probably may still have some -but not a lot - of tine left.

  Age has helped to mellow the tannins and acidity of this wine without sacrificing the dark fruit and earthy flavors. Still, I think this vintage might be just past its peak; I remember it being more impressive (in a future potential kind of way) when tasting it in the winery. Still, it's a great wine that pairs well with just about anything. "Drink it if you got it."
