Just a great Petite Sirah. It was hitting its peak and should be consumed over the next few years. Tannins have softened and it has some nice fruit flavors. Super enjoyable at this point.

After 15 years, the color still remains dark cherry. Nose is classic Pinot with deep spicy scents. Soft mild entry and can sense the spices of the fruit throughout the palete with a focus at the tip of the tongue. Still enjoyable but wouldn't wait much longer to drink.

Found this bottle in my temperature controlled off-site wine locker and boy was I surprised. It has some age but has held up very well. The nose is subdued but the tannins are still there and slightly moderate. The most surprising item that I noticed is that the texture of the wine which is jammy and thick. This is surprising for me because most aged wine that I drink are somewhat thin. Really enjoying this bottle and wish I had more. Glad it was well taken care of in my off-site wine locker.
