this wine is finally coming into its own and starting to open up, but still needs a few more years in the cellar... complex and thick palate, nice deep nose of blackberry and anise... lengthy finish... far better now than when i tasted previously, and hopefully will continue to improve.. if so, then Sterling did really well with this one... don't let it get too warm

this wine is improving with age, but still needs to lay down another year or two... great value when on sale
