Despite being 15 years old, opaque dark purple. Enticing aromas of black cherry, Just enough tannin to be firm and dry without being tight or astringent. Enters the mouth very rounded and integrated, even near caressing. The swallow shows the most acidity and dryness. A beautifully aged treat to taste. Will drink equally well for at least years more. 33% Cabernet Sauvignon, 62% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petite Verdot.

Popped and poured, still tasty, juicy, smooth. A little musty, but almost 20yrs old.

A little over oaked but very good. Red and black berries. Smooth from start to finish.
