Enjoyed this wine with my fiancé, it's vintage is her birth year. Had the bottle with homemade spaghetti and meatballs and it paired excellently. The wine took maybe 30 minutes to open up, and was wonderful for the whole bottle. I'd suggest filtering, there is some sediment.
Dark, brick red color. Cork in good shape. Long legs. Lots of fruit and floral notes on the nose. Soft and chewy on the palette with lots of oak flowers, and fruit. Nice, smooth, and long finish. Soft tannins and surprisingly still some acid, still has a few years left! Great wine!

Surprisingly young looking, including the cork. Recorked? Still lots of fruit and very mellow tannins. This one is ready for business.

Brick/Garnet Colour, Great Aromas of Cherry and Plum, Still a bit Tannic even at 20 Years, Great Flavours
