  from 1.5L - PnP. Nice ruby color - no bricking. Aromas of blackberry, plums, spices, earth and a bit of licorice. Medium bodied, rich but not ripe black raspberries, red plums. minerals, and a bit of coffee. Very complex finish with mostly integrated tannins and a long finish. At peak and delicious. Recommend 750ml bottles be consumed within a year or so.

  Good deep ruby color with minimal signs of aging. This came out of the bottle like a rocket with ripe red fruit that evolved into plums, cinnamon, and an earthiness. It was well balanced and an absolute pleasure to consume. Despite nearly 18 years of bottle age, this tasted young although not tannic.

  Deep red and nice legs in the glass. The nose is pleasant with plums and leathery smells and a little spice. Medium to full bodied with plums and a little spice. Tannins are ripe to overripe with a very smooth finish.
  
  Enjoyed with a holiday rib roast and rich gravy. Drink NOW if you have any left.

  Passive storage. Decanted for sediment. Drinking fantastic right from the jump.
