A terrific wine! The fruit has faded somewhat, but it remains very well-balanced. A touch of oakiness, a touch of tanin. A nice, creamy mouth feel - reminded me of a RR PN. Recommended, if you can find a bottle!

Paired this with Daniel Boulud's Wine-Braised Beef Short Ribs and Celery Root Puree. Smashing combo. Bottling is drinking beautifully, tannins still there but smooth as silk and fruit for days. Wish I had more of this.

Agree with 2maxmen review below. If you have any of this left you should enjoy it TONIGHT! Its backbone is sagging. Still very good wine but lacking the punch one could expect when it was younger.

This has lasted well. A lot of cherry and the oak is still there, although a little unintegrated

shared with Karl, Xtina and Hunter. Aged very well - lots of pepper.
