A nice wine still showing delightful fruit. I had the same experience that JHIEB reported: there was so much sediment at the top that the wine barely dribbled out of the bottle until I broke that up. It will likely hold up a few more years, if well cellared, but enjoyable right now. Not a beast, but very satisfying.

Nothing special. Not at all worth what I paid. Paid close to 60, drinks like a 40-45. I bought in 2009 and 2010 and haven't heard from them since. Enjoyable? Yes. But not at 60 or whatever I paid.

Drinking well now. Red currant and black pepper aromas. The palate adds red/black cherry and cocoa, a hint of spice. Integrated medium tannins/acid.
