Perfect bottle-wonderful nose; raspberry-toned flavors evolving into black cherry over an hour+; no alcohol on the palate, and a full, lingering finish. No sense of aging, and NO sense of oak. My score reflects the average of all reviewers as of the moment I type these notes. Our last; so sad...

Great after about an hour after pouring. Good concentration of dark purple fruit, and medium acid. Not as good on the second day, but better again on the third day (?).

Mr. (Ben) Riggs, is the master! His wines are different and in general have the ability to make you say WOW everytime you drink one. this one is no different. taste is velvety, fruity and 'thick' while the semi-sweet aftertaste in the long finish is magical. I have alrady bought 2 cases of the 2004 installment. What a pleasure.
