Had 5 bottles - dinner party at Lucio's BYOB with the usual suspects. The wine looks Purple colored, the legs are Medium not too much onion skin or carmelized sugar on the nose after a few hours in the glass - which is what I had expected based on the drinking window of 2008 - 11 other have posted on this site. I found this wine to be in fine shape, great fruit on the nose, lots of berry and smooth finish. Will hold the last 2 bottles for at least another year before I try another. .

- Brick color with medium forming legs and aromas of blackberry and dusty. It's balanced and has flavours of blackberry, almond and dusty with a medium/full body with a long finish - Great for New Years pizza and salad. Doesn't over power the Deep dish.

Soft tannin. Has aged nicely. Spice, pepper, dark fruit all on the pallet.

Heavy, tannic Bordeaux blend that lacks distinct characteristics but still pleasant with a meaty meal.
