The wine has held up beautifully. Excellent balance with delicious fruit, long soft velvety finish and no negatives. Very happy it has held up since I still have two bottles in my cellar.

My boss opened this wonderful bottle for our Christmas party. Nice dark color with beautifully integrated tannins. I got notes of plum, vanilla, cassis, and some great fruit on the palate. This was a terrific wine and such great QPR for its time. Unfortunately, costs continue to increase on these so haven’t been buying for a bit.

Writing a week later. Looked really pretty with a very bright rim and wouldn’t have guessed it was unfiltered. Almost no sediment and what was there stuck to the bottle. The fruit was plush and red with a good structure. The half bottle I saved for night two was just as good.

Incredible dark inky coloring. Amazing nose of black berry, cassis, plum followed by vanilla sweetness. Tannins non0-existent with smoothness on both the front and back palate. Still young and lively.

(Justin Isosceles) #3; VaynerPAZZZ; COLOR-dark; NOSE-weird; smell some wood, but not over-oaked; blueberries; a little chalky; very dark; PALATE-a little over-oaked for me (the Oak Monster makes an appearance); the oak is prominent, but this is a big wine; a lot of bitter dark chocolate on my palate; tea flavors; huge plum flavors; very grape ape; a little disjointed; very big; very young; many will like this as it has a "delicious factor"; a really solid wine; GV-88+

Very deep, rich red. Full bodied. Still retains tannins. Smooth
