A wine beginning its descent back down the hill. Some mulchy fruit and skinsy tannin holding in there...bit signs of approaching old age are evident
|
|
Fruit lacking with a dried bark note that detracts from the wine. Very top heavy with no foundation to drive the wine or keep it in its place.
|
|
Deep ruby starting to develop. Showing some tertiary devt. Leathery and slightly cedary. Mature style, leathery, drinking well ownbunslightly drying finish detracts.
|
|
Slightly sweatiness, clear oak influence, licorice and cassis. Pal is a bit warm and drying. A bit disjointed.
