Ten years since I had my last bottle, and it's just as good. Amazing fruit and balance for a 20 year old wine. The other scores and reviews are on point.

Out of a magnum this was popped and let breathe in a flat bottom decanter for 30 minutes. Powerful, sweat aromas of black fruit unfolding into black cherry, spice and leather. In the glass its a tamed beast with beautiful balance, flavors of mixed black fruit & mocha. A thrilling wine to drink. This is in a sweet spot to drink right now or hold.

:45 minute decant, dinner at AOC Gorgeous nose A wonderful mix of dark berries with secondary flavors of tobacco and espresso There’s still some tannic bite with oaky chocolate and cinnamon on the finish At 2 hours in it became a little hot and liqueur like. Still good but a perceptible change.

Just wow, what a beautiful wine. Decanted an hour. Silky smooth, impeccably balanced, super fine tannins, finish went on and on.
