Reward of patience. After 13 years, it exceeds expectations for this nascent release from the then highly touted producer. A lot has changed to the producer since but this stood the test of time. Chinese spice, red fruit, forest floor and herbs. I think it can safely age for another 5 to 10 years.

Have been meaning to try this one for awhile. While this is not their first vintage, it is their debut vintage at Vintages. Smoky, plum and earthy. Low acidity. Rich.

Last bottle and just as well. This is all tertiary with leather bureau and bright acidity now. Faint and distant memory of sweet fruit. Drink now.

Complex, voluptuous oak and plummy. Spicy and cedary. Developing very nicely and certainly can age longer.
