grapist Likes this wine: 95 points
January 11, 2017 - This continues to be the family "Celebration" wine. We might have better and we surely have more expensive, but this, as our largest purchase of one vintage of any wine (5 cases) continues to be our favorite. Originally tasted from barrel, it is now in prime time.
