Medium Garnett with medium + intensity Aromas of blackberry black currant raspberry herbs, Brentwood, fig, earth. Medium plus body with high acidity and high alcohol in a medium plus Spanish. The dark fruits are muted almost to the point of being stewed, the wood, fig, and earth predominate.

Probably overaged this wine based on fellow comments but opened tonight after years in my cellar and was blown away by how fresh and wonderful it tasted. On the fruitier side but with a richness that undercut whatever sweetness hit our tongue. Absolutely enjoyed it compared to heavier reds we drank earlier in the evening. Wish I had another bottle.

Decanted 90 minutes. Light garnet color with fading at the edges. Nose of hot alcohol and cedar. Raspberry and chocolate with a hint of steak on the finish. Agree with the other reviews that the wine is disjointed.

A hot, disjointed wine - I should have drank this up five years ago.

Color browning. High alcohol. Opened 2 hours. Not worth drinking. Sorry! Esp. for my $50+
