July 13, 2017 - This is the first birth year wine I have had from a terrible vintage from around the world. I was lucky enough to have been given this bottle from a person who has stored it in his cellar since release. I was not expecting much but was presently surprised. Had mature flavors of dried cherries, mushrooms and earth. A great treat!
