  It has been almost 5 years since I last drank a bottle and it still is a beautiful thing. The only downside was the cork broke so I decanted using a vinturi. There is dark fruit on the nose. The palate was dark berries, tobacco, licorice, wood and dried sage. The finish was long and full with hints of mocha. I did rate it a little lower as the wine was not as vibrant as I remember but it is still just a really good bottle of wine.

  Just wonderful. The first impression is focused casis flavor with some plum in the background. The mouthfeel is velvety smooth and seamless. Flavor nicely evolves with some cocoa hints into a long leathery finish. Almost no sediment and cork was in good shape.

  Nose was all cedar and some dark fruit. The flavors werte dark fruit, blackberry and plum with some cassis in the background. Had some acidic balance to it with bright fruit showing itself. The layered tannins - soft, and the acidic addition made for a long delightful finish.

  A beautiful wine! Opened up after 20 minutes. First nose was full of dark fruit but as it opened it was all leather and tobacco. The flavors were delicious of black cherry and dark fruit and a long finish of vanilla and earthy elements. Hitting its peak! Beautiful wine.

  Still tasty after all these years. Hasn't missed a beat but won't improve any either. Loads of fruit, blackberry and plum. Well integrated tannins. Perfect cork.
