  Popped, poured and consumed over the next couple of hours. Lush deep purple color; black berry, currant and violet nose.
  
  Right out of the gate, this one is special and You need help I need help coming in as it spends time the glass, It gains considerable complexity. Deeply rich and integrated, it is reminiscent of a high-end Chateauneuf du Pape. Round, layered black fruit dominates up front, with wonderful savory notes filling in on the mid-palate.. The finish features soft, velvety tannins and a long satisfying backend.
  
  This is a remarkable achievement, and I am quite impressed with this wines’ development. I’m pleased to note that I have one bottle remaining from my initial case purchase. I suspect this one is currently in a state that is as good as it gets, so I will likely uncork that last bottle in the next year or two. When I do, I’ll report back on its condition
  
  Bravo!

  Great nose. Still showing fruit and would guess it as 21 plus years. Only moderate complexity.

  for the age, quit surprised the amount of fruit still remaining after opening an hour and half in a half bottle. yes dry, and alcohol at 14% is still present. tannins are still alive. the dryness over shallows the fruit. not bad for a 21 year old wine. dry dry dry.
  yes, i am enjoying.

  As mentioned by others, this is an easy drinking right now. The mid-palate felt a bit hollow.
  By all means drink up
