Gotta say I opened this with no expectations... It is drinking like a dream with dark chocolate... Color me very happy a little raisin on the nose but has lovely fruit, long finish, and then add the dark chocolate.. i have 3 more i was nervous about but not anymore The wine looks inky colored. There is light sediment in the bottle. It tastes like black currant (cassis).

Unlike others, although numbers aren't everything, I found this a big yawn. Perhaps it's too old, but it was diffuse, ripe enough, but really boring with fruit on the washed-out, bland side. Drinkable at this stage, and I certainly did, but highly recommend, if you have some, do not delay.

Very distinct. Exactly what was expected. Great tasting. Oaky and full bodied. Legs to die for. Aged perfectly. Drink now.
