I must say I expected more from this but it was nevertheless a very smooth, both, and elegant wine with your usual cassis, slight oak, and a nice rounded finish.

Very good. Aromatic, flowery, inky, rich, not harsh. Tastes like a $180 Syrah. Definitely a surprise. Good fruit, good length and finish. Was quite pleased.

Fantastic wine. Everything about it screams $$. Tannins still very prevalent at 10yrs of age. Big bold blackberry cassis, pepper, leather in the palate. Nice firm grip at the finish. A nose you can smell from across the room. A spectacular performance. Got better with time.

Cellartracker is one of the few internet places where people share ideas and opinions without being attacked by others. Let's see if we can keep it that way.
Cheers! KVM
