Just starting to show its age around the rim- the aromas remain sharp- like grapes baking on hot cement and arid shrubbery. The juice remains fresh, tannins are integrated and the acid is found in a ribbon that runs through the center of all the dark complected fruit and herbal notes. Having never had this wine in its younger state, I am quite pleased and impressed by the wine at this age. Drink now and sober the next few years.

Even with age this continues to give off such a unique character. Rorick doing a constant service to forgotten varietals showing that transcendence is available to all who want it. Freshness and pleasure fully intact.
