  Normally buy 2 wines and cellar for 10 years...opened 1st bottle. What a pleasure...beautififul nose after 1 hour opening....alive with fruit and we'll integrated with oak...what a reward after 10 years...opened 2nd bottle...this is going to be solid rebuy to cellar!!!!

  Dark ruby in color with medium legs. Smooth texture with medium/long finish. Wine has aged well since purchase in 2012 with some improvement potential remaining.

  Medium bodied but full and tasty nonetheless. Fruity and soft at the same time. Served with orange chicken, vegetables and jasmine rice. Almost a perfect pairing!

  Nice fruit on the nose. Tannins are tame but should improve for another couple years. Nice earthiness with deep berry, almost burnt. Still a decent quaff.
