Opened at 2pm and began drinking at 9pm, not decanted. Well balanced showing mostly fruit. Was not getting tired although I think it is time to drink them up.

Another of Brian's bottles. Showed much more fruit than the Spotteswoode, with dakr fruit aromas and flavors. Full bodied, and the abundance of fruit suggests it has plenty of life ahead. 90-92+.

This is the last of a 6 pack that I bought when I originally started keeping wine. Upon opening the bottle the aromas of black fruit were blantant from 2-3 feet. This wine is fully integrated with little or no oak showing through. Flavor profile includes black fruit, cedar, licorice. It continued to open throughout the evening and got better as time went on. Great for a $30 great bottle of wine.
