Fill into neck. Deep and dark color. Took over an hour to open fully. Very smooth. The wine seemed like it was not even 10 years old. Loads of black fruits, some eucalyptus, cedar, dried herbs. A great and much underappreciated wine when released.

So much better than I expected. Smooth, almost creamy. Very ripe black and some blue fruits. Crème de casis and vanilla. Long finish 30+. Extra point for ageworthiness. This bottle had at least 5+ more years of quality drinking in it.

Wow! Easily one of the best five wines I've ever had. Wish I had more and will look for more. Tannins fully integrated with fruit and oak just right, wine of the night next to a 95 Sonoma and a 95 Reserve Especiale. Holy Cow!

Dark red color with very little bricking. Closed at first but aromas of blackberry, leather and tobacco popped out after an hour or so. Surprisingly dense black fruit laden with heavy tobacco flavors lingered on palate providing a lengthy finish. This wine was much more enjoyable than we anticipated. Purchased at the winery a long long time ago!
