Best showing yet over roughly a dozen years of consuming this case. Very fresh strong acidic base. Great depth of flavor, roasted cherry fruit, herbal, cola. The earlier ripeness has evolved into a nice profile of secondaries. This bottle was going strong.

Christmas Diner… alas… my last bottle. Deep red with strong plum aromas. Very tight when poured, an hour later, smooth flavors or black berry and plum. Well balanced. I wish I had more. .

Retail $65? I bought three bottles of this wine online, just a couple of months shy of a decade ago, for just under $40/bottle. The first bottle was Outstanding (but a little stewed), the second was decidedly better, and this last cork? Holy cow--certainly the best of the lot. Bright, dark cherry fruit in the glass with equal parts vanilla, earth, and spice. Yowza. The palate? Even better. Maybe *much* better with rich fruit, zingy acidity, incredible balance, and a lengthy finish. Not much else to clamor for, no? Whoa.

Suave, sophisticated, super-fine tannins. Strongly improving over time.
