Delicious Cali Rhône with years left to go. My very last bottle, bought on the mailer when first offered, it’s drinking far better now than the first two that I opened years ago in their infancy when I lacked restraint. Deep dark in color, rich on the palate and decent finish. Needs some time to open up, but within an hour was in fine shape. A bit too much alcohol but that didn’t mar the wine. Very solid.

Dark, fugue of old loam in the nose, then a black cut of beef and fig and tangy old suet in the mouth. A fit, brambly, rich bottle suited perfectly for a gouty English claret drinker with a limp and bulbous bloodshot nose.

Sadly, we waited too long. Super bricky in color and vinegar.
