July 3, 2020 - from memory: wine is alive and kicking. dark rich fruit still there, tannins integrated nicely, lots of depth and tertiary flavors from aging. paired nicely with our ny and ribeye steaks.

May 13, 2015 - Dark magenta color. No signs of bricking. Very polished.
Initially mixed berries and eucalyptus on the nose, gives way to black licorice and roasted pepper skins.
Mixture of dark and red fruits, licorice and an astringent tree bark on the palate. Nice acidity. Still very tannic. Long, mouth-watering finish. Drinks more like an old world wine made in a new world style than new world all the way.
Really hard to believe this wine is nearly 18 years old. I would guess its best years are 3 to 5 years from now. I wish I had more.1 person found this helpful Comments (1) -

December 21, 2013 - I did not have a lot of expectations for this wine as it was well past it's drinking window. We were pleasantly surprised. The wine was a bit flat, but was very smooth and still had good flavor. We drank this wine over appetizers and I don't think it would hold up against a steak any more, but everyone thought it was smooth and pleasant.

May 11, 2013 - Dark black garnet color - medium-full bodied with black berry and black cherry fruits accented by anise with tones of leather, wood, cedar and hints of black olive tapenade with floral lingering on the smooth moderate tannin finish.
