Shows its age with a ruby core. Leather and cherry on the nose with a similar palate. In my opinion, this easily holds for a few more years before any decline. Really enjoyed this bottle.

This is firing on all cylinders. My fourth of five bottles and the best yet. Amazing to me how youthful this still feels at 19 years old. Not hard to tell that this comes from a hotter climate with the very ripe nose and palate but it is well balanced at the same time with a lengthy finish. Not sure how long before I open my last one, do I enjoy this now or see what’s next for this wine.

Red fruit with some sweetness and a little mint on the nose. A slight creaminess coming through as well. Very similar palate. For this bottle at least, there is still room for maturity however much further along than my last bottle 3 years ago. Very well made and looking forward to my remaining 2 in the coming years.
