August 10, 2020 - I am a bit perplexed by this. It remains closed up, at 14 years. It is a broad shouldered wine, but the fruit seems to be penned in - and this has been my experience over the last 9 years (I bought a lot of it!!). Will it ever open up? I want it to fly... Maybe it will disappoint me.

December 20, 2010 - Central Otago Wine Trip December 2010; 12/20/2010-12/23/2010 (Central Otago, New Zealand): Deep spicy cherry fruit and cola nose, a very long spicy palate, lots of concentrated fruit, still very tight but drinkable now, will take sone time to unwind and show its class, very good+ wish I had picked some of this up
