Dull garnet color. Lovely bouquet of roses and mixed berry jam. Though this came off as cooked initially, it calmed down after a couple of hours to reveal jammy notes of overripe raspberry, a bit of coffee, and a touch sweet vanilla. Silken texture. I think it was mildly cooked but a bit of air muted it. As the last few bottles drank very well, I am assuming this was a storage rather than a sell-date problem.

Brambly dark berry fruit, a little hint of vanilla, a touch of barnyard. Fully mature and drinking well. B+
