  I am a big Celani fan, and this did not disappoint. First taste after 30 minute decant (I was impatient) was delicious red fruit with mild tannins, and it improved as it opened up. I would recommend a 60 minute decant, and to drink up!

  Just delicious. I had a bottle 3 years ago, this one seems even better. Excited I have 2 left. Good nose intensity of cedar, tobacco, chocolate, black fruit, a bit smoky too. A lot going on. Soft tannins. Just a joy to drink. It is a red blend, thinking close to cab merlot 50/50.

  3 years since last bottle - this is my last. This wine has lost a lot and in decline. It still had a good nose and some up front sweetness that was appealing, but I found the mid palate and back end to be astringent. Almost medicinal qualities. Recommend drinking now.

  Decanted for 90+ minutes before consumption. Drinking really well after the air time. Expressive bouquet of lavender, raspberry, and cherry compote. Palate is predominantly red fruit, quite rick but not cloying or over the top - completely in balance. Just a great wine, paired with Prime NY Strip and Filet Mignon. A real treat tonight!

  Grassy florals and red fruit on the nose. On the palate, smooth and silky, with just the slightest edge of acidity and tannin that actually gives the palate a bit of a lift in terms of complexity. Probably better / more integrated in a coupe of years, but I'm not sure I'd consider this a long-term ager. Outstanding for the price.
