Sunday, May 7, 2017 - What a difference a year makes. This has started firing on all cylinders and I can only concur with some of the plaudits being awarded to this wine. With a nose full of blackcurrent, dark cherry, and leather, it is velvety on the palate with perfect balance. It is opulent in the mouth with the fruit in total harmony with firm but sweet tannins, and completed with a glorious finish which seems to go on forever. It just kept improving in the glass over a couple of hours and I think this is still going to continue to improve, but no reason not to enjoy now.

    Great note and fully agree with your comments. This wine is a Home Run all the way to Center Field.
