Saturday, November 21, 2015 - Amazing complexity. Wonderful aromas of dark berry fruit and mocha. Flavor of dark chocolate, berry jam, and layers of flavor from front to finish. Loved every minute and wish we had more!

12/1/2015 12:40:00 AM - Thanks for your note and rating. We had a similar experience and commented: "A blend of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 21% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot. Stood upright for 12 hours, 6+ hours breathing in the bottle. Dark-purplish red. Aromas of soft, black ripe fruit with hints of chocolate and herbs. Silky, elegant with baby tannins that develop in the middle of the palate and spreads throughout the mouth. The tannins continue to develop from "barely legal" to tantalising 20-something year old. We cannot wait to sip the balance of our case over the next ten years or so as she becomes an elegant lady!! A fairly long finish. We were pleasantly surprised to sip this vintage now as it clearly is ready, but displays huge potential over the next decade or so. Just finishing after nearly 9 hours breathing...it is now magic and pushing us to 97. Molto interessante!" Wonderful experience!
