What a fantastic wine and so glad I cellared these for 20 years. When I purchased them I was into the bombastic fruit bomb style and they delivered, now my tastes have changed and these wines did the same. Mellow mature fruit and earth are the predominate traits. Hauntingly good on this night.

Really smooth and nice. Holding strong at this juncture. Best to drink up but could probably hold 1-2 more years is my guess. It won't get better though and could fade.

Really lovely wine. This has matured beautifully. A gorgeous nose of raspberries and chocolate leaps out of the glass. This is so smooth while retaining some nice structure. No heat whatsoever. A long lingering finish of nuanced flavors is starting to emerge. This is drinking beautifully now but will certainly last another 5 years if not more.

This one took some time to fully open up but it was really nice when it did.

This is smooth as silk and really nice. Great nose. Some depth in the mid pallette. Lingering finish. Yum.
