Much better result than recent reviews: gorgeous deep garnet with a youthful purple hue around the edges. Fruit on the richer side and forcefully delineated. Great spice, acidity and balance. SOOOO sorry I don't have more! If I did, wouldn't hesitate to hold these for years to come--they have the fruit and structure needed for continued cellaring.

Not particularly expressive nose or palate. Easy drinking. Day 2 update -some oxidation on day 2 despite Vac U Vin pumping. This was in a retail establishment until a week ago and likely past it's prime consumption time partly as a result

Tastes super aged. Need to be thinking cracked gentleman's leather club chairs and old books. Luxury but need to be in the mood. 93 for that mood. Less than 90 otherwise, not a casual supper. A thinker.

Last bottle was thrown as wine was corked, past its due date.
