This bottle has aged well. It has a fruity nose and a beautiful color. The taste is smooth and after it has been exposed to air for an hour (decanted or just in a glass) it is even more wonderful. The finish is nice. Every time I serve this wine (and most years are fabulous) everyone raves. Always the first to be finished.

P: MF body; Decent frt on front, tannins (slightly astringent) entering mid palate; LONG, slightly astringent/tannic finish. More than any of the others in the flight, this NEEDS 2-3 yrs to potentially strut its stuff. 15.4% ABV [Somewhat different than my previous tasting of this.]
