Full-throated effort - I had my last bottle of this 9 years ago, and it's only gotten better. This wine is up for your robust food pairing. Nicely concentrated. Years left on this one for sure. 50/5/14/16/9

Very strong bouquet of tar and roses that even has some hint of alcohol. Some brown rim of color and starting of rusty color. Very intense flavors with presence of good amount of softened up tannins. Long length and pleasant and balanced finish. Lots of sediment! Don't shake the bottle!

Welcoming, big nose now of cherry and rose overlaying a concentrated and long-finishing palate of sun-dried fruit with a muted jam base; dusty and surprisingly low acidity (a little challenging), but the imposing tannins should provide a long shelf life. Will be better and more integrated with time, but meanwhile this is real wine with an exclamation point of a nose. 50/5/13/15/9
