shared this with my wife on a cold Chicago Sunday evening paired with baby back ribs and pork short ribs with tangy bbq sauce. we were both struck by the deep purple color and hue of the wine. this wine is still holding up well after 10+ years in our cellar. Still some fruit that has matured- slight pepper with cinnamon and raspberries. I would open up another bottle if I had one now. Decanted for 30 minutes prior to enjoying and still going strong 2+ hrs after opening. I give it 92 points.

We could actually drink this one!! It was pretty good too. I agree with all of the bottle variation remarks and wasn't expecting much from this but wrong just doesn't cover it. The fruit and oak andminerals were so well integrated that it didn't seem like a blockbuster Turley at all. This actually had finess even though it says 16% ABV on the label. Must have gone straight to me head but the alcohol was hidden in the fruit and minerals and we liked it a lot.

Another corked Turley... not a shocker as I have had far too many corked bottles from this producer.

Easy drinking. Long finish. Black pepper and dark fruit. Good wine, typical of Turley.
