  March 21, 2015 - Wow...what a surprise! Well-structured and balanced throughout the palate. Needs about an hour to open up. Nice nose and good finish. Middle is delicate and crisp with good acidity. In a blind taste, you'd never know it was 20+ years old. Held up well but drink now.

  February 20, 2008 - This was a revelation. An inexpensive bottle that had aged beautifully. It was right in its prime and probably has another six years. Cherry, gamey flavors. Full bodied for a CdP with cherry fruit and a long finish. The tannins were well integrated, but no bitterness. I'll look for more for the future.
