  This wine died a horrible death - sadly. It was oak and date juice when I opened it and it went to port in an hour - drink what u have!!!

  This wine was awesome, I decanted this wine a couple hours before drinking - full bodied, very soft tannins, tons of fruitiness, blueberries and blackberries jumping out of this wine. I wish I had more of these.

  All I can say is that this bottle needs TONS OF AIR!! Please do yourself a favor and give this wine the time to show its true and beautiful colors to you! This wine is blue black and dead animal! Love it!
  
  The nose starts off very stunted as does the body, we thought it was boring. Next day - it was awesome! The nose does not hold back - showing deep earth, floral notes, lush blueberry, along with dead animal on asphalt. The mouth is huge, bold, and full, not a wine for timid folk, that is extracted and expressive, and full of concentrated blackberry, blackcurrant, black cherry, spice, eucalyptus, hints of date, rich black pepper, bramble, and loamy dirt, along with still bracing tannin and oak to bring it all together. The finish is long and super spicy with rich chocolate, tar, raspberry, black pepper, cloves, and spice, all while lounging around with a rich leather coat and a big fat stogie. This is truly a powerhouse PS and one that has 3 or more years left in its legs.

  Big ripe young. Very typical PS. Lots of red fruit and spice in the nose. Thick, grapey, tannic, but appealing, esp. with steak. Kosher for Passover. Mevushal. Should improve for several years. Best 2015-2020.
