  I can't improve on Baron Slicks superb tasting note below. Bought for only £36 from the wine society some years ago this is the best value US wine I've ever had.

  This needs a one-hour decant, minimum, to express its obvious class, refinement, and purity of place. Cherry cola, black raspberry, and navel orange aromas slowly waft above a bouquet of earth and oak spice. The palate exhibits beautiful weight, a silky texture, bottle age vitality, and layers and flavors that are endowed with perfect amounts of sweetness, cut, glycerine, and ripeness. Tenacity, length, and a trace of orange zest zings the finish. I can't say enough about this wine. An outstanding showing.
