This wine was the most overlooked of the night amongst its competition. Very deep purple in color, this was a big wine when it was opened, interesting mix of ripe berries, blue berries, tobacco, coffee, chocolate, herbs, etc without being too heavy, but over the four hour period, it become much more dense and one-dimensional. Might have had a chance if it did not come after the burgs.
