By Sean Sullivan
(Long Shadows Pirouette Columbia Valley) An aromatically intriguing wine with dark cherries, licorice, herbs, and nut oil. The palate is supremely concentrated, coiled, layered, and rich with tremoring intensity. A hyperextended finish only adds to the enjoyment of this delicious, sculpted blend. Still tightly wound, give two plus years or an extended decant before opening but your patience will be rewarded. 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Malbec. 14.9% alcohol

Supposedly past its peak. It is at the end of it's prime, and may have lost a little of it's lingering finish, but I found it smooth with delightful medium to full body and cherry forward fruit. A beautiful Bordeaux styled blend.

Have long loved Longshadows and would have rated higher if it had been opened up a year ago. It was ok initially out of the bottle, but air is not its friend.

The wine has well integrated flavors with mostly fruit and a bit of vanilla. It has a short pleasant finish. It is remarkably young.

Decanted for 2 hours and enjoyed over 2 nights. This wine really took on a new personality after air & time. Big, rich flavors and great balance.

1/2 hour decant. Consumed over about 2 hours. I think I waited too long. You can tell that this was good in it’s prime, but the fruit has faded - resulting in an unpleasant finish. Downgrading because I would expect a wine of this type, at this price point to last longer.
