Still has a very dark, almost inky purple, color. Lots of black fruit, especially blackberry, with plum and boysenberry. Rich mouth feel and incredibly smooth. Maybe peaking?

Opened about 45 minutes before pouring. Did not decant. A dark, almost blackberry coloring when served. Very Rich mouth feel with lots of plum, and blackberry notes. Incredibly smooth, but might improve with a couple more years.

I thought these were all gone but found one in a cabinet under the bar. I opened it tonight and, as I drank it, I looked at the details on cellar tracker, purchase price, cost, and reviews. The last review seemed a bit high when I first tasted the wine, but was on target after the wine had been opened for two hours. An interesting and long finish bringing to mind ripe plums including their skin.

haven't visited this juice in some time and I surely did miss her! Fruit on the front end but the tannins are restrained. Sad to see this one be my last. A great trip across the pond for some fine juice.

Dark violet color. Fragrant nose. Still lots of fruit, a bit of complexity, but quite harsh tannins. This bottle seemed like it needed more time.
