  Even at cellar temp immediately after opening the nose was incredibly sweet, fresh and showing just a hint of secondary aromas, which made me think Oakville more than Howell Mtn. The palate so far- refined, pure berries and minerals, bright acids/juicy texture. This is a front-of-the palate wine: really delicious and pretty, not so much a long finish but really a knockout attack.

  Not rich enough to rate higher score, but a pleasant find in the back of the wine cabinet. Had it for 10 years, reminder why we cellar and enjoy rewards of patience. Long on the palette. Earthy, leather, soft tannins. Kinda wish I had bought more, especially at the price. Not getting any better, drink up!

  Clear dark red/garnet in colour. Clean nose of cherry, cooked plum, and some earth. Dry, med acidity, med body, and elegant tannins. Cooked plum, cherry, and chocolate on palate. nice finish. This wine is past its prime. Took some time to open up, but I think this wines best days are behind it. If you have some drink it now.
