2004 d'Arenberg "The Stump Jump"

[Drew]

This is the first vintage of one of my personal favorite "go to" wines that showed poorly. Clear dark ruby, nose completely closed. Muted and diluted raspberry, dark cherry, blackberry, red and black fruit flavors with very little of the Stump Jump spiciness that you could always count on. Rather thin and uninteresting. Might be bottle variation and will try another before I say goodby to this long time friend. 14%Alc/vol. $8.99
