  Finally became drinkable. Had on in 2007 and another around 2014. Both were so tannic I put them down the drain. Decanted six hours to soften it up. Strong dark fruit flavors. Not cloudy after al these years. Won't go looking for more. If you have it, either do a long decant of hold for several years. This is a biggie!

  Beautiful nose of creosote, charred oak, vanilla, black currant and tomato vine. Medium-full bodied with sweet black cherries baked with rosemary and thyme as well as black currant, boysenberry jam, cocoa powder and charred French oak. Still delicious, this is now toward the end of its prime drinking window, but you don't need to be in a rush to drink. I have 2 more bottles and will wait at least a year for the next. Absolutely a joy to drink! Drink now-2027 94

  Ready at last, it was a nice expression of Italian cabernet, in a fruit-forward way.

  A bit of toasty french oak and good cassis on the nose. Dark cherries, black fruits and sweet herbs add to a complex, mature, layered finish. Surprisingly rich - giving some who tasted this blind the impression of Napa cabernet. A treat of a discovery!
