  Wow! This has aged very well. Blackberry and raspberry notes combined with licorice and pepper/spices. Silky and long finish. Paired amazingly perfectly with cacio e pepe. The finish went on and on with the pepper! Also paired really well with short ribs and buttery mashed potatoes. And paired really well with a poached lobster, mango, red pepper, and avocado dish. I hope people still have a few of these in their cellar!

  Just an excellent bottle of wine all the way around. Beautiful nose, mouthwatering acid on the palate, and a smooth finish. Quite satisfying and enjoyable.

  Ruby red, translucent with some some lightening toward the rim. Nose is clean with some floral and a bit of light smoke. Wish I was getting more from the nose. The palate is much stronger with dark cherries, some chocolate, and banking spices. Finish has depth. Overall this is in good balance and I can see of few more years of this peaking.
