This wine is like an aged Bordeaux and has really gotten better with time. It is prime now with plenty of fruit present, the tannins have melted into the body of the wine ... still there, but very soft and approachable. Exquisite.

I've let this wine patiently sit in my cellar since purchase and just decided to open it after dinner with my closest friends. We decanted it and started in on it immediately and it was amazing. Color is deep and rich, but clean. Every aspect of the wine from the first whiff when the bottle opened to the nose, mouth feel, fruit and finish was extraordinary. The last wine I gave a 100 was the 1989 Beaucastel Chateau nuf DuPape... this one is all of it.

Decanted and left for an hour. Wonderful nose, fantastic integrated tannins. I want more!
