  Everything I hoped it would be. Worth wait. A marvelous wine.

  Cork broke when opening- evidence that I had sub-optimal storing conditions over the years. After a quick decant (mainly to get rid of the cork fragments) the wine was singing beautifully. Perfume of violets, red liquorice, and plums. Additional raspberries on the palate. Soft silky wine with surprisingly still grippy tannins. Great drinking now but has enough grip to last a few more years.

  Blood red to orange edges. Concentrated but balanced shiraz, Ripe dark berry and stone fruit, along with raw beef, charcoal, old leather. Strong mature tannins with tart-edged finish. Rhonish but very ripe. Enjoyed with prime rib beef.

  Although the cork crumbled, the wine was still really great.

  Extrememly pleasant aromatics, but the palate is disjointed and falling apart. Still a nice drink overall, but lacking that structure you would expect and the finish is slightly sour.
