We opened this for birthday dinner along with an 04 Carlisle Carlisle, a 2001 Ridge, 2006 Linne Calado to mention a few. It showed beautifully and drew ooohs and aahs from around the table, everyone wanting to know what it was. If possible it's lost some of it's raisiny, flamboyant qualities and the dark fruit is more subtle and beautifully balanced. We had it with a pork loin roasted in milk and it was a perfect pairing. I just couldn't believe how well it was showing.

Velvety and lush dark very dark fruit bordering on fruit cake. Very balanced with typical LP characteristics. I love this wine and it has held up beautifully which one has come to expect from Swan.
