Finally got to this after 12 years in the box. As expected. Somewhat internationally styled plummy Merlot driven right banker. Did the job at the Thanksgiving table. This wine has held up very well although I suspect it would have been just fine a decade ago.

Mature, drinking well. Dark fruit, smoke, earth, leather. Mineral, iron, licorice. Good wine drinking in its prime. Not terribly complex but very enjoyable. Still has plenty of life left.

This is drinking nicely. Modern treatment is less noticeable than in past bottles. Still robust but not heavy. (90)

Plush dark fruit, a bit pruney. The fruit is strong but softening. Past prime. Drink up.
