Really nice. The peak might have passed but a very nice smooth and full of dark fruit wine. Not much of the rubber and very enjoyable. Got better with a little air.

Had forgotten about this one! Absolutely wonderful! Read another review that it was past its peak. Not this bottle anyway. Just perfect. Lots of dark fruit and more concentrated than I expect a Chianti to be. Would buy if I find another bottle!

Cork had wet through but wine was still good. Bought this one at the vineyard at release. Big nose, mature fruit. The palate was not that great when uncorked but opened up real nicely after more than an hour. So would suggest decanting. Black fruit and as others have said a really nice "burgundy". Enjoyed this one on Thanksgiving with turkey and all the fixings. Perfect! Drink now!

Depending on your taste, this one is enjoyable right now but can be stored a few more years.
Peppery aftertaste. High alcohol content 13.7.

Cote Rotie anyone? Will probably do well with at least another year on the bottle but absolutely drinkable today!

Found this in the cellar...At first this seemed very thin and past it's peak. After a while it opened up with some citrus and tobacco on the nose. [black] berries and a nice finish. No tannins left and to me this is better enjoyed without any food. Might have been better a year or two ago.

Deep color, very concentrated. Great nose with berrys but not very complex. Very smooth not much acids left, blue berry! Very nice but not great. Drink now.

Deep cherry red clear color. Lost of acids cherry and goose berry. Not very approachable but very good with some pasta with a tomato based sauce that complements the acids well.

A bit closed and one dimesional acids. Very crisp, citrus and rhubarb. Not typical Sauvignon Blanc.
