Probably one of the very best bottles of wine we have ever enjoyed from AS. We had it for dinner at The Ringside in Portland to celebrate our anniversary; it wasn't even decanted, but was smooth & layered with an amalgam of cherry,raspberry & strawberry fruit, acid and structure that all lingered beautifully on our palates, providing us with a wonderfully long finish. Its texture in our mouths was balanced and when paired our steaks and mushrooms, proved to be a terrific pairing to their outstanding food, providing us with a spectacular & memorable evening. If you have bottles in your cellar, pull them out, open them up and get busy enjoying them; I truly don't know if it gets any better than this!

This is mature and delicious. Very expressive red berry nose. On the palate there's ripe red raspberry and especially ripe strawberry flavors along with some tar and forest floor flavors. Definitely at its peak and might soon start down the other side.
