Served Christmas Eve with lamb for the family, along with a '98 Heredia Tondonia.
Lovely wine at its peak, a shame it's our last bottle. Very 'forest floor'with a good solid structure. Mushroomy, dank, and earthy, really came alive with the porcini laced polenta and a nice foil to the Tondonia.

Lovely and one of the best integrated of he '05s I've tried so far. Sweet and concentrated black cherry balanced with a slight earthiness, a bit of tar and fine tannins. Wish I'd bought more!

40th birthday at Ruth's Chris. An amazing and vital bottle, well integrated with copious dark berry notes.
