  Last bottle from a half-case purchased way back in 2008. Maybe slightly past its prime, but this still showed quite well. The trademark plum and blueberry fruit has faded noticeably, lending this a better sense of balance. Still round, soft and very elegant - but displays a more vibrant acidity, now that its fruit is much less prominent. Has an almost Old World feel to it now. Paired very well with our roasted duck.

  Popped and let slow ox for 2hrs. Bright garnet purple not saturated still youthful at the edge blueberries plum with a touch of sage and vanilla. Medium weight with silky tannins. Blueberries cassis plums touch of cedar and ash on the palate. Elegant and delicious.
