Med dark ruby, lots of minerals, subdued dark cherry, coriander spices, perfect balance, smooth texture, smooth integrated tannins, long delicious silky finish, peaking now and should be good for another 5 years or more. Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, 14.2% alc.

This is a wine tha always seemed to have potential that was never realized. Now at 12 years old it is noticeable slipping never achieving anything beyond mediocrity. 86

This was more of what I was expecting. Last bottle must have been corked. Drank well pnp, improved slightly with time. Nice soft tannins and great dark fruits. Well balanced.

This wine is on the downhill. Lots of volitile acids on pnp, which did smooth out after a few hours. But the wine still tasted off, and the fruit was a tad off.

Big wine. Drinks fine now with young primary syrah flavor, but lacks a sense of place. Has lots of time left but we didn't pick up an iota of secondary nuance here that indicates true maturing vs. just getting chronologically older.
