Expert's opinions
Beginning to show a few cracks around the edges, this once outstanding wine still has a very complex nose of roasted meats, cigar smoke, asphalt, licorice, and black, juicy cherries and currants. The wine’s succulence and fat, once one of its hallmarks, are beginning to dry out ever so slightly. The tannins and acids seems a bit more noticeable in the finish than I remember during its first 10-15 years of life.

Solid, intense; roasted coffee and cassis aromas and flavors lead to a lovely ripe fruit finish. Well-built with firm tannins.

Slipping past its prime, the wine is rustic, stoic and focused on its secondary, tobacco, earth, tobacco leaf, cigar box and bright red currant nose, which is more fun than its crisp, light weight, earthy, red berry palate.
