aged very well. minor bricking, minor sediment. much better than bottle I consumed 5 years ago. Well integrated tannins, mature fruit. short on the finish.

OK....so I was a bit concerned since I was sitting on this bottle and the site said drink by 2011. I opened it, and I would say you can extend the drink by date. It was perfect. Reminded me why I bought it in the first place. Try it....you won't be disappointed.

Venturied and decanted. Fruity, herbal and tar aroma. Blackberry, cedar and tar on the palate. Also tasted the skins, stems and seeds. A little hot and harsh to start but settled down after an hour or so. One bottle remains. I will let it breath longer and try with red meat.

Very approachable - just straight forward nice wine, esp if your like a wine with light tannins.

Not what I would have hoped for at the price, marketing I guess, food wine, peppery finish, not much else to say.
