This was a HUGE improvement over the last bottle consumed in 01/09. That bottle was a disjointed mess and I believe I rated it in the mid -80s. I immediately regretted buying a second bottle.

I can now gladly say I was wrong with that assessment. This wine completely turned around and was utterly fantastic. There is no doubt this is in a new world style, but the fruit was pure the tannins sweet and the dark berry flavors singing. This is new world done right, I actually wish I had more.

A fantastic bottle to seek out of you can find it for the release price!
