  «Expired» per CT drinking window, but in great shape.
  Ruby red fading towards brick color. Sharp red nose, cherries, red fruit, hint of cellar and a bit of alcoholic sting.
  On the palate it presents itself with a nice, fruity attack which gives way to a plateau of earthy flavor, lovely minerality and a good grip of acidity
  In the back spectrum you can feel the age, but this wine is a surprisingly fresh 22 year old wine.
  The first sips at laced with an attractive sweetness from the fruit. After food it comes across as drier, more serious.
  Not overly complex, but very balanced and nuanced. Conservative 91p.
  My last bottle, happy to have kept it. Should deliver pleasure for several more years

  Twenty years on still lovely. Refined silky tannins, deep dark cherry and earthy truffle notes. Lingering finish. wonderful compliment to Tuscan-seasoned steak with roasted tomatoes and a Backwoods spinach salad.

  Have had this bottle on the shelf for a long time. Only had one left, and thought I would have it with some snacks. When I first opened it, I thought it had turned, but after pouring a small taste realized it was still a player. It still had quite a bit of tannin, and could have shelved for a few more years, at least another 5 years. I’m not very good at identifying specific flavors, but this was a very smooth wine with a long delicious finish.
