Dark tawny color, almost opaque. Notes of black cherry, earth and dirt, along with some herbs. Masculine in its approach. Tannins still present. Notes of pepper and unsweetened chocolate also appear. Guesses were all over the map with this one... nobody could find the continent nor grape varietals. I was in 60's Cal Cab land.

If blinded, I would have gone with Bordeaux. Leather, iodine, hint of menthol. Nothing to suggest CdP/Grenache, other than some oak. Interesting for sure, but nothing special after 40 years.

Brandied cherries, forrest floor, bay leaf, wet rocks, leather, iron, violets, garrigue. Rounded acidity, gorgeous lush silky-satin texture, full bodied, savory smooth velvet tannins, long earthy slightly floral finish. Aromatic, mature texture driven, perfect weight and body. Decant or allow to evolve in glass.

Pretty nose with dried wood, orange peel, macerated cherry, rosemary and thyme. Quite light with drying fruit. Medium bodied. Nice.

Dusty, gnarly dark fruit. Great acid, fruit still rocking along but quite drying. Nice balance.
