February 8, 2016 - Wow! I expected to enjoy this wine; I did not expect it to blow me away. A nice surprise. Drinking a point, if you have one give it a go. Sleek, smooth and long with a creme de casis character throughout. Notes of dried cranberry, milk chocolate, fine herbs and cinnamon weave in and out with a seductive sweet fruit sweetness I did not expect in a 25 year old cabernet.
Interesting note: this wine was clearly sterile filtered. Given the accepted thought of filtration today one would not expect such richness and beauty 25 years on. I also lean towards non interventive wine making, but its good not to get stuck on these things like some wine reviewers have done.
Enjoy!1 person found this helpful 849 views
