Buy it.. It's cheap enough and you won't regret it. After opening a bottle of altimura 07 I opened phantom for the heck of it. It was a hit and for only 17 dollars.

Rusty color, hot and dry. The wine went bad so we thought. Then speculation that the wine went dormant. We decanter for 2 hours and readied for a taste. This wine completely changed on us. Complex notes of tobacco and roasted nut sherry. Deep vibrant cherry. Above average body, something expected from Robles. Elegant finish with coffee notes and sherry. Overall it was a real beauty. Give it a chance. Wow you're "experienced" friends. ;)

Tannic yet with plush Cherry overtones. Decanted and let sit for an hour. Still very tannic and overpowering alcohol backbone. Think if it took a good four year nap it'd be good to go!
