not quite as impressed as other CT notes. bright cherry fruit. would not have guessed this was a 15yo wine. slightly earthy on the nose. tons of acid. solid wine but a bit overpriced at $50/$60. similar wines for less

Happy result of an auction purchase. Held its own in a multi course meal with diverse wine offerings (2000 Leoville Poyferre, 2005 Pegau Reserve) pairing best with the chicken livers/foie gras and seared chicken courses and was very popular.
Love the Occidental fruit. If nit-picking, just slightly prominent wood treatment noticeable from this bottle tonight.

Dark red hue. Wild strawberry nose. Strawberry rhubarb, tart, easy drinking, delicious lingering taste. Nice bottle.

Wow! Beautiful wine! Elegant at this point. Strawberry jam but great balance, minerality and elegance. Delicious.
