Saturday, May 11, 2013 - Best bottle of this wine I've had so far, beautiful nose of cassis, chocolate, coffee bean and some earth, very smooth with tannins and oak nicely integrated medium length finish

Beware there has been quite a bit of sediment in the last two bottles. fwiw I have 4 left and they will be consumed within 2 years
