Drinking beautifully with very soft notes of cedar, black currants, cassis, coats the entire pallet, and entire sides of mouth. What a gorgeous wine with 21 years of age could not imagine this at any better time to drink. Makes your mouth salivate for more.

from a magnum...little to no air required. full throttle...awesome. deep blueberries, cherry, subtle strawberries with an electric edge...no tar or tannins...easy to drink, integrated well made modern profile wine.

what a powerful wine, we would never have guessed it be an 02 vintage. Very well balanced , we loved it. The only thing keeping it from be ranked higher for me was it did not have that Wow factor. I would guess it has years more to go, unfortunately my last bottle

PnP. Funny, I liked it when it was released, and 15 years later, after a big palate shift, I still like it. But, I feel that's because it's comfortably mature now, with secondary, and some tertiary nuances that are just lovely. Rich, pure, and elegant in a CA style, of course. Should hold here for years. Better after 1 hr open. recommended

Deep red, soft tannins. Evolving nicely
