Still not a lot of tertiary flavors, but still holding it's essential core of red fruit. The oak has all pretty much blown off. There is still a lot of character to this wine.

89: nice blend, medium body, quality is apparent, some secondary flavors trying to come through, holding fine, deal at $20. UPDATE: another bottle, was past prime, little fruit, just a shell of tannin and wood. 79 ANOTHER UPDATE: third bottle is good again - nice smooth polished blend. 89.

Nose was subtle, body was nice you could see lovely legs. Taste was not big but was good at beginning, middle and end. Had a long finish. Had with beef stew.

Blossom after a week of uncork, suppose decantage is needed. Black tea on palate. Should develop better after a year or two.
