Dark blood red color. Blackberry fruit, cassis, strawberry, cherry. Nice full body. Surprisingly tannins are present. The wine has great structure. Very silk. Fruit burst followed by earthy tannins. Long, dry finish. This really shocked me as I thought it was beyond the end of its drinking window, but it could easily age 5 - 10 more years. However, if you are lucky enough to have a bottle of this in your cellar, I would not risk it and enjoy it now.

Cork broke as I screwed in the extractor must remember to use Ah So on wine (corks) more than 10 years old. Careful and time consuming straining resulted in fully oxidized wine

Fabulous bouquet of dark berries, with a velvety texture and long smooth finish. If you've been saving this wine for a special occasion now is the time to enjoy it.

Incredibly smooth and full of bold flavors. Fabulous with bacon covered dates appetizer, scalloped potatoes and Filet of Beef au poivre for Christmas Eve.
