talk about exceeding expectations (which were really low)...just a really solid food wine with life, structure, aciidity and length and good fruit and flavors...great weekday wine

I tend to agree with the tasting notes from cse, but disagree with him (and others) that say this wine is past it's prime. It has definitely mellowed and improved in the past 5 years since I previously drank it. I'd say it has at least 5 more years left if stored well.

Earthy, leathery. Still hanging in there. Not sure it's too far past its peak window. I'd say it probably won't get any better.

This has mellowed somewhat and is best described as a value wine. Ok fruit with not much of a nose.

Big wine. Overripe, getting flabby with age. Drink now if you have any.
