Fruit laden red with great depth and balance. Black cherry and damson flavours dominate with firm acidity and supple tannins in support. A very well made wine with a few years more to go.

Very nice now. Ruby-purple color. Still great fruit, but nicely softened. Raspberry, blueberry, smoke. Still quite full, integrating well, still room for improvement.

All that excess alcohol has integrated leaving a wonderful integrated spicy CDR that would stand up to any food and even just about live on its own. Awesome vintage and just great grape juice. The value just adds to the allure.

Still solidly fruity, with nice vanilla notes on the front palate. Could have easily cellared longer
