Delicious, slightly oxidized, lots of earth and leather along with prunes. If this was a typical bottle, don't hesitate to drink these sooner rather than later.

Over four-and-a-half years since my previous bottle, and this is still a magnificent wine. Still getting some pencil box, and lots of dark fruit. Tannins let you know they're there, but aren't pushy about it. Soft finish. Paired very nicely with fairly spicy black-eyed peas, sausage and cornbread.

Another find while cleaning up my cellar. This was a beauty, bold melange of fruit and some dusty earth, balanced acid and just a great food wine.

Light and fruity for a deep dark red. Really nice afternoon sipping wine.

Bright, vibrant, fruity, earthy, slight secondary notes were evident. Amazing the stuff Scott does with Barbera.
