Aromas of dried cherries and vanilla. On the palate silk-smooth and beautifully integrated tannin with acidity lingering in the background. The finish is surprisingly short, yet satisfying. This wine has aged beautifully, gracefully, and it shows impeccable fruit. I would not aged this vintage for any longer.

The nose is intoxicating, the fruit, tannins and spices are perfectly balanced, and the delicious finish lasts forever. A wonderful wine, from beginning to end.

This is aging so well. Still lots of nice dark fruit. Great aromas of plum as I decanted. Well integrated tannins. My last bottle of 2002, but I’d say it has some years left.

Corked. 13 years of cellaring down the drain, such is wine.
