Wine has terrific bouquet of cassis with spicy overtones. Sweet fruit on the palate - great body. Long finish. No off signs of age. This wine is absolutely delicious. My only bottle. Bought years ago because of the producer.

This was ok. It was firm and seemed rather young. The wine came across as fairly modern, but it was drinkable. I ended up putting it into my demi for braised short ribs.

Over the hill, but drinkable. Needed about an hour of air for the funk and balsamic notes to blow off, but what was left was just raisinated fruit notes that lacked any acid or tannic structure. A little flabby in its old age, drink as soon as you can.

Very unique but wonderful wine. Sort of like a pseudo-Amarone, but less big. Tart, but wonderful fruit, vgood complexity and finish. Opens quickly but doesn't evolve much over time.

Great when opened, not so great next day. Aggregate score.
