Saturday, August 25, 2018 - After 45 min we made our first taste and I was impressed with the aroma of currants so fresh, cherries, chocolate and an amazing herb garden. The taste itself was velvety, rich wonderful Cab fruit blended to make the flavor just last forever on the tongue. Never over powering but this vintage has another 10 - 15 years without problem! To bad I only have 1 bottle left in the cellar.
This wine still remains the reason I started collecting and savoring wines from around the world!

Thanks!
