Tried two bottles within the last month. Both were over their time. Both were pruney, stale, an vegetable. What fruit was there was weak and uninspired. A shame. I like this wine. Like their Tradition, Just one year ago--lovely. Both this Prestige, and their Tradition, are short lived. Drink them young and tend to cellar management better than I did.

Fairly subdued, slightly raisiny nose. Baking spices / raisin box. On the palate, it shows some heat, with dried cherry and raisin fruit, spice, brownsugar. Overall, it's lacking in fruit and a bit dried out. Probably won't hold up well long-term...

Really started to open up after a couple of hours and was wonderful in hour 4. Great nose, delicious wine. Wish I had more.
