This was consumed at the President's luncheon of the IWFS. It was served with linguini with mushroom and truffle sauce and a single scallop. It was BEAUTIFUL, perfectly balanced with slight tar, rose petals, and strawberry notes. The soft tannins played perfectly with the flavors, The wine is drinking wonderfully and it would be hard to see how it could improve. AEG

By AEG Tasted with wild boar ragout with shaved black truffle. The wine was double decanted for 8 hours and really benefitted from the time. It opened fully, revealing the dark fruit and balanced tannins. The finish was of moderate duration but full. The wine is drinking well at the present time and would seem to have years to go.

AEG Drank at the 76th President's dinner with aged prime ribeye. The wine was double decanted for 8 hours and was fresh, fruit-filled and well balanced. It almost tastes like a New World wine. It's at its very best now, I feel, and can be consumed with pleasure.
