May 19, 2016 - Still has quite the fruity punch, mixed with some earthy and herbal tones. Fully integrated and balanced tannins.

Amazing how much big fruit is still left after 10 years. everything has come together now to give a beautifully balanced, multi dimensional wine. Simply amazing. And when you consider it was only about $13 a bottle, it should probably get another five stars.
