Vibrant after 10 years in the bottle. No loss of fruit, to me. Plenty of black fruit on the palate. Not sure if this bottling had 10% Viognier or not, but if so, would make sense. Fresh and very fine, indeed. The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle.

Initially white pepper on the nose but after a while this turns into rich plum with some cedar - perhaps a splash of tangerine - beautiful mouth feel - initial rich fruit but without heat followed with spice & black pepper - to my mind still a very young wine and has a good future - look in again in 3+ years
