This has been my favorite inexpensive wine for years and I have had many aged bottles. However the vintages of this era have been overripe, raisiny and unbalanced. I can only blame R Parker. This wine could have been good if picked earlier. I am hoping for a future return to balance in later vintages.

A touch of life left. Still oak present. Ready to drink.

Well balanced - some berry with a touch of olive on the backend. Still drinking well.

Decanted and enjoyed this wine. Polished and nice Mourvedre, nuanced and great with a grilled steak.
