A real pleasant surprise. Pulled this out of my cellar not expecting much, but it was well balanced with the fruit receding a bit and some mint and tobacco coming into play. Medium finish and nice floral nose. Drink now or in 1-2 years.

Upon opening, incredible bouquet wafting from the botttle. When tasting, found a strong nose of cherry and chocolate. Taste continued to improve after an hour and aeration through a venturi. This was a bottle I bought at Cost Plus World Market over 5 years ago after seeing a recommendation in Wine Spectator. For $11.99 back then, this was a great value.

Le bois ressort beaucoup trop comparé au Antiguas 03. Unidimensionnel. Mal vieilli comparé à l'autre..

Nice deep color. Nice nose, fruity with hints of earthiness. Big bunch of fruit on taste. Probably near peak, not too old.
