Last bottle. SHowed beautifully with smoked pork crown roast. Earthy and barnyard armoas, fully open and resolved on the palate, nice complexity of aged fruit and earth notes. Very enjoyable.

Matched with a wild mushroom bisque, this wine paired perfectly, showing damp earth, tree bark, all of the aged Bendo aromas...nicely balanced on the palate, medium weight, balanced acidity, and persistent finish. The wine is in no danger of going over the hill, but I'm not sure it will get any better. A lovely pairing.

Fabulous wine. Not supposed to be a 10 yr cellar candidate but as it took on air the complexity just grew and grew. I look forward to the later vintages I have.

Rustic wine with pleasant, and mature fruit. Needs food. Drinking now with limited upside.

No recollection when I drank this but it was this year, good but not great was my impression. Significant astringency.
Drink.
