8 years old, still hasn't reached its peak. Stone fruit, cardamom, vanilla, oak and more on its nose. Full bodied, balanced acidity, balanced tannins, long long finish. Had this with a rather mild Chinese dish, paired well, didn't overwhelm the food, but could have stood up to steak. Excellent wine, gets better each time I open one. Sadly, just one bottle left.

Served with spicy Thai Red Curry with chicken, nice pairing. Nose of cassis, oak, stone fruit, hints of blackberry. Soft to moderate tannins, excellent acidity, long finish.

Big and bold, cassis, plum, stone fruit, oak and vanilla on nose. Big but balanced tannins and acidity, great with steak, long finish.
