  The last of several bottles purchased nine years ago. At $12/btl, this should never have been a wine to lay down. Some recent bottles seemed to be fading a bit. Then this last one blew me away. Excellent. Reminded me of aged Nebbiolo in some ways. Tertiary notes of leather and decaying leaves joined by a subtle back end sappiness, some balsamic coming in. Wow, I wasn't expecting such a nice wine when I chose this for a humble meal!

  Dried Fruits. A green note. Medium body. A bit astringent on the finish.
