Really great. Was afraid that this "off" vintage might not have aged well. I needn't have worried. Still lots of life left. Great fragrant nose and well balanced palate. Loved it. Popped and poured. Got better as the night went on, but no decanting is necessary. Served with a venison with pan sauce, which was perfect. Wish I had a case of this. Sadly it was my only one.

Took two bottles to a dinner party along with several other wines. This was by far the crowd favorite. Folks couldn't stop raving about it. This is a big, big wine, but in a very, very good way. Has the characteristic leather and tobacco notes, but the balance here is just stunning. One of my all time favorite wines and drinking just spectacularly right now. Sadly, they wolfed down my last two bottles of this vintage.

Just spectacular despite being so young. Really a great wine. Served with a selection of cheeses and it paired perfectly.
