I agree with some of the better bottles reviewed here, a tasty bottle at a great point of it's evolution the only thing I can add is that there was a nice Spicy eucalyptus/ green cigar component to this not unlike what can be found in a good Cab Franc. A very enjoyable drink... late addition : Oops putting the bottle away I noticed there is some Cab Franc in here Duah! :o)

The wine is inky colored, deep purple and showing no sign of its age. There is light sediment in the bottle. It has a nose of cassis, blackberry, dark berries. It tastes like blackberry and cassis. The wine has silky texture and great mouthfeel.

wow wow wow. Lovely color with just a slight brown edge, definitely does not look it's age. Nose is lovely with some lovely berries, violets, so complex. Palate is smooth and well rounded, no noticeable tannins. This seems to be drinking wonderfully right now, a truly great wine. The high alcohol content is not noticeable at all. Wish I had more in my cellar!

July 4 celebration. Incredible wine. Gets better every time I have one of these. Deep purple almost black in color. Notes of dark fruit, mint. All who had the wine were wowwed.

Sweet with some alcohol heat on the nose, very smooth on the palate. Good line.
