Medium ruby in color with a garnet rim; on the nose, it's clean with pronounced primary, and tertiary aromas of dried figs, cedar, and sour cherry; on the palate, it's dry with high acidity, high tannins, medium alcohol, full body, and pronounced primary and secondary flavors of strawberry sauce, red currants, and wet gravel with a long finish. This wine is past its prime. The fruit was completely gone after about 20 minutes. I bet it was a great wine a few years ago.

Similar to previous bottle. Kind of meh. Not sure where it goes from here.

Lovely red and dark fruits. Nice structure. Fruit forward but not over the top. Went nicely with the Chili con carne.

Slow to open up but eventual muted red fruits , earth and vanilla. Savory palate with dried fruit. Bitter dusty notes and a bit askew.
