Just too old, despite being well cellared since I first purchased in 2003. Tested with Coravin and it's gone. Clearly oxidized, no remaining fruit. Sour from tip to finish. Discarded the bottle.

Lovely and plush meritage blend, with plum and cassis aromas mixed with nutmeg and allspice. These are echoed on the palate, and there is a lovely long finish.

What can I say? This is a superb wine, probably my favorite. From the moment you stick your nose into the glass and inhale the refreshing mix of flowers, berries and fruit, until the taste slowly evaporates, this wine is so generous in the pleasure it gives! Wow.

Bordeaux blend on steroids. Ripe fruit with oak; velvet texture. Bring it!!! Almost have to drink on its own or with a good piece of red meat.
