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.
