This was my last bottle of this vintage. I wasn’t expecting much based on recent reviews, but it was delicious! Still had some good body and flavor left. I’d say it finally found its balance. It could have lasted another year. Was cellared since I purchased it.

Really good - smooth and fruity (as per other reviews) but my bottle still had good structure and decent acid and tannins - therefore not just a “fruit bomb.” Inky backbone of petit verdot still vigorous, mature, only slightly over the hill - might have been a bit better a year or two ago, maybe not.

A happy wine full of blueberries and blackberries with a little black pepper for good measure. Terrific when finished with a little dark chocolate! Tannins are mature, soft but present. Astringency is mostly absent.

Lots of berries, easy drinking. Blues, blacks, opens up with some licorice and leather
