Developed some nice tertiary characteristics, brick, earth, tobacco, to complement the primary flavors of dark berries. Not much finish, though, and the high ABV has become more sharp and harsh as the intensity of fruit has aged away.

Dark, thick, syrupy liquid with muted, earthy flavors and overpowering heavy mouth feel. Cork broke in half when opened. Not as good on second day. A bit past prime. I'm going to drink up.

Excellent wine with real depth and complexity. Tannins have moderated. This has a sort of chocolate mole note to it. Went great with smoked BBQ ribs.

Spice, blueberry, and later, black pepper flavors. Went well worth lamb chops.

Very good, but the tannins here are still firm.
