Last of the bunch for me. It ended on a good note. Plenty of structure, some wet hay on the nose and rich color. Dry mouthfeel, red berry notes with hint of oak influence.

Super elegant and still has some liveliness to it. I suspect this to continue to age well, as it did last being open for two days. Good complexity with notes of oak and cherry and a long finish.

Better tonight than the last note - medium ruby/rusty - rootsy, spicy, cherry compote nose, med body, good length but a little light on density - elegant, very nice, v good tertiary notes on the lingering finish - always dependable! We have had four bottles, varying between 88-92, so it seems like there is a lot of bottle variation with this wine. This may go another 3-5 years, but certainly ready now.

Waited too long, it's done. One more bottle to try to see if it met the same fate...

This wine has been fairly highly reviewed by CT members. I found it to be quite plain and nondescript. At age 10 maybe it's past it's prime.
