Nearing the end of a case after almost five years of savoring it! Still has all the limey peach and apple flavors and good acidity with very slight spritz, just enough to enliven the palate. Petrol in a nice balance. Rich and long finish. I LOVE this wine.

Smooth and sweet tannins, no over-ripe fruits; wonderful blend of meat, smoke and pepper. Perfect with grilled lamb chops. Sad that this was the last of the case. Followed this with a 2011 Chimeres that also rated 92 from RP but was far more jammy and had no elegance in comparison.

Still packs a big, dark berry punch, with cedar and tobacco to balance. Dry crumbling cork was a problem, despite perfect cellaring, but didn't seem to affect it, thankfully. A great buy!
