Not one to give points, but must in this case to underscore the injustice done this wine by previous reviewers who apparently had badly stored bottles or drank the wines during a dormant phase . Boisterous red and black fruit with slight dill, sweet canned tomato puree and bay leaf. Showed like a wine 5-8 years younger and was suspected of being French or Italian by knowledgable tasters. WOTN for several. Should easily make it to 2025.

This bottle was a little ozidized and past its time. I was surprised by the synthetic cork which in my opinion do not provide the same long term seal. If you have them drink them immediatley.

I found this wine uninspiring this evening. The wine was flat with little fruit and character. I don't think this is a candidate for cellaring any further. Drink it up.

Still has character without any flaws. Color more purple than garnet. Overall, dusty nose and mouth. Fruit a little weak.

Some chocolate notes, deep glorious and saturated colors combined with a dark berry finish. A meaty wine that held up well to a spicy pasta dinner.
