  I was amazed at how this wine out performed my expectations! Considering the age, this wine is nowhere near its peak in my opinion. I Believe you could expect another 5-10 years of peak drinking window with proper cellaring before any major downturn. The QPR of this wine was incredible. When young I was not too impressed, but patience was definitely rewarded.

  Always a very nice wine. This is not one of the better vintages of this wine. Nonetheless, a very serviceable wine.

  Rich nose of very ripe cooked mulberries, blackberries, black cherry, some thyme and rosemary, roasted meat, earth/old wood and spice. Very full-bodied and very rich, this is incredibly mouth-filling and loaded with the same fruits and spices as the nose. Moderately tannic (of only medium quality) with just enough acidity, this is quite good and was very nice with Chinese. Nearing maturity, this should have a long life ahead of it. Drink now-2029+ 94

  Decanted, then poured ~1 hour later. Very dark fruited (blackberry dominant) with a dominant licorice/anisette note. Drinking well now.
