September 19, 2020 - I didn’t love this. It is rich with blue and dark fruits and a touch of wood. The 15.5% alcohol is hidden pretty well and there is a lot of acidity. We didn’t have the right food with it, so that didn’t help. Just not my style of wine.
We had this along with the 06, and it was tough to pick a favorite.4 people found this helpful 2,228 views

If you like young wines and with more fruit, I’d say open it. Based on the 06, which really wasn’t showing much aged character, I’d say 20 years or longer if you like them showing some tertiary notes.
