  Really liked this wine. So reminiscent of a good Amarone. Fruit cake, all spice, a hint of leather. All there, and still full of life after 19 years.

  Big color and body. GOOOOOOD GOD the nose on this. Spicebox, sawed wood, potpourri, and lil dark prune. One of my favorite noses initially. had a glass then poured into decanter. By the time we got to this I wasn't loving it. Pretty sure there was a flaw. Saved a third of the bottle and virtually unchanged. Sad event in the end.

  Last bottle in my cellar, sadly... Just monolithic in terms of its aging pace.. Fresh and alive, super deep.. Big nose of dusty licorice meets ultra concentrated dried fruit. So concentrated yet balanced and no RS or anything like that. Crushed charcoal and woodspice, herbal notes. Nice!

  Enormous intensity, showing beautifully. Consider decanting, but either way, a delight.

  Medium red color. Complex aromas of blackberries, dark chocolate, leather and spices. Ripe, fully integrated fruit in the mouth with excellent depth and length. Complex and long on the palate. A truly outstanding wine that is firmly in the middle of its peak drinking period.
