Brought with us to Jon and Carolyn's to share over dinner with them and the Paffs. A very nice, mature Bolgheri Bordeaux blend. Lots of ripe, sweet, cherry, plum and boysenberry fruit, matched beautifully to a moderate acidity. Became more complex as the evening progressed, eventually showing subtle notes of leather, earth and mineral on the long, polished finish. Very smooth and silky on the palate. 50+5+12+16+7=90

Drank out a decanter. Muted nise and taste at the beginning. Initially drank the wine with a Riedel Bordeaux glass. Switching to the Riedel Syrah glass improved the enjoyment. Some leather, low aciity, silky tannins. Nice wine but drink it now.

On the nose, cherry, dark fruit, pepper and cocolate. On the palate, the hotness has calmed down and there is more balanced wine noe. Well integrated tannins with alot of fat red fruit, still a certain level of alcohol. Cherry and leather. Medium + finish

Similar to high priced Napa cabs. Really enjoyed. Just missing some of the depth. High quality. Will still go for a number of years.
