Community Tasting Notes (3) Avg Score: 93.3 points

  • Initial bold backberry tase. Smooth and with lavender. The wine has a finish like a port wine. The wine is a bit confusing with a lot of flavor dynamics. The caracteristics have an older wine profile, but still holds fruit. The wine was better then we expected.

  • Lovely, lovely wine, soft on the edges just still plenty of fruit flavor, blackberry and later on hints of cherry. Interesting to note that our bottle had not yet taken on any of the slight changes in color that the other reviewer noted, otherwise a very similar tasting experience and notes. Although 13 years old, it really seemed to open up after 30-40 minutes like a younger wine, wonderful additional layers of flavor detected as we got to the second half of the bottle. I think this is just about the peak, would drink right about now if you are holding.

  • Just a gorgeous wine. Deep purple, dark mulberry alluring color. Bronzing but not sedimented. Starting to take on some color nuances of age but all positive. Nose of blackberry, some black currant and kirsch. Hints of eucalyptus and green pepper dancing around. Very well integrated oak with subtle vanilla. Man is this wine yummy. Texture like velvet. Thick, dark legs painting the glass. Slippery and full bodied. Great finish. Slightly drying but not a dry finish. Flavorful and long. Tannins are very mature and perfectly balanced. This wine with age holds none of the heat it used to, all of the fruit, and then subtle other layers of aroma and flavor. If you can find a bottle, buy and drink.
