Elegant wine with the primary 5 Bordeaux varietals. 13.3% alcohol. Very nuanced with a wonderful nose and enticing long finish. Last had this wine 15-20 years ago, and the palate then and now had overtones of bell peppers over pleasing dark fruits. Still has tannins and will continue to drink for several years. NOTE: Short decant straight from the cellar on a warm night.

Starting to show a little age. Mellow nose with a little complexity, on the palate smooth & easy drinking, good balance. Seems to be drinking at peak but I feel that this is not a great vintage for Stonyridge!

First bottle from a six pack purchased on release. Fruit is forward. Tannins still a little drying but perfectly acceptable. Will try again in 2-3 years.

Breathed 7-8 hours. A little more would have been better. Drinking at its peak

In the bouquet red and dark berries. Same on the palate, bell pepper, earth, firm acidity, sticky tannin, good bitterness and some elegant sweetness.
