previous tasting notes accurately describe this wine. A very nice 2nd label from Hourglass and worth the money. I don't envision it getting much better (maybe marginally) or worse in the next 5 years. Drink and enjoy.

Decanted for about an hour, and then drink with friends. This was spectacular, given the age and a poor year overall. I was extremely pleased with the bordeaux nature of this blend. We had several much more expensive Bibles at our table and this was. Clearly, the superior bottle

I had never enjoyed this wine before, but the reputation was what made me buy a few bottles.
Quite frankly, I was expecting a monstrous pinot. What I got was wonderful elegance; clearly a California style, but ratcheted back from expectation. It could be paired much more broadly than expected. It was balanced and it had NO heat at all.
Truly enjoyed.
