Opened with the thought it may be past its prime. This bottle was not in a temperature controlled setting but it was really good! Soft polished tannins with big fruit still. Cassis and red fruit. The finish was a good 45 seconds. I wasn't expecting that. I wish I had a couple more of these.
This wine is surprisingly amazing. Another example of not hanging your hat on Lisa Brown or Robert Parker. According to her the wine was supposed to be drunk within the first six years. This bottle has been laying in my cellar for 13 years untouched. It is an incredible bottle still vibrant, full of dark fruit and very polished tannins. Could easily be confused for a cote rotie

What a wonderful wine. Full bodied, extremely aromatic. Minerals and crashed rocks with dark Mary throughout. Balanced wine very smooth and silky
