I would buy more - this is a great bottle of preserved burg for $18. There is plenty of fruit, acidity and body to make it compelling. We enjoyed it with seared tuna and quinua and eggplant per Trotter. The fresheness of the 10 year old wine impressed everyone.

Teesside Wine Society Much deeper orange/carnelian, with pretty big legs and a broad paler rim. Slightly closed nose, but a much finer floral meatiness develops, with spice and plums beneath. Lovely smooth mouth, approaching medium bodied with good acidity and aromatic dark fruits. Quite short finish but nicely balanced. Pretty good and fully mature – nice to drink but I wouldn’t buy any : 3-
