Tremendous - right out of the shoot, this wine was complex, left open and tasted each hour for 3 hours and it evolved amazingly well - opened up, very smooth . was for my son's 21'st birthday which made it even more special. Perfectly paired with rich steaks.

Rich and quite young. It came along after lots of wines much older than it was even at 20 but it still seems to need more time to me. Some funky greenish notes. Doesn't seem to be a classic build with some soft yet rich fruit. Might be a time when they were changing styles or it could be a result of a mixed vintage. In any case, I'd leave this well along. We tried this after it was open probably two hours.

3 hour decant. In a percect place right now! Great balance and extra long finish. Still rocking 5 hours later! Dark cherry, plum and raspberry with light leather and mushrooms. Cherry and plum finish goes on forever..a truely fantastic bottle
