beautiful, seamless, full bodied, plenty of bright red fruit, not overblown, long finish. this is in a great spot and def recommend drinking now. decanted for 30 minutes and consumer over 90 minutes. last two bottles; but happy to have one magnum left!

Solid mineral smooth water with some spices and fruit kick! I had it with a flat iron steak with some chimichurri sauce. The spices probably came from the lingering sauce on the palette. Crane at this point of time for this vintage is like a refreshing mineral structured Cabernet franc with dark fruit kicking alive ; you also don't get any harsh cab franc palette pulls. Plenty of cassis and licorice on the nose. Drink up!
Mineral Water smooth Wine, the tannin's have disappeared and are integrated into a salivating structure. Subtle nuances of acid and fruits. 95 doesn't get better then that after 11 years. Pairs well with everything except tomatoes. Drink now til beginning of 2023.

Drinking perfectly. Soft tannins. Balanced. The fruit came out after 20 mins in glass. I had opened it 3 hours earlier.
