Blueberry, cinnamon and graphite with lithe acidity and silky tannins, a new world Bordeaux with some obvious bottle age. My fave and group fave in its flight.

Big on this wine. Very unlike WA fruit forward wines. The additional bottle age opened up pencil lead, chewy tannins and some garlic. Makes you wonder what other surprises might be out there for quality WA wines given he time to mature.

Couldn't agree less with this being either elegant or restrained... this was a big, coarse, kick-you-in-the-mouth wine! (even after it breathed a bit) It was rather complex and interesting though. Dark, inky. Not sure I'd buy it again, but I enjoyed it.

This wine has grown lush in its old age; would guess WW as source if I did not know better. Still big and enjoyable.
