We really enjoyed this wine and frankly I wasn't sure it would be any good after all this time. But paired really well with our Italian meal of Pasta, Sunday "gravy", pork chops and Spicy Italian Sausages. Very soft on the palette, but stood it's ground to the seasonings and acids of the meal. The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are medium. There is light sediment in the bottle. It smells like fig.

Three bottles hidden in back of cellar. Very inexpensive wine that aged better than wines 5x it’s price. Fruit notes gone in nose, but beautiful blueberry&blackberry notes in mid/end. Super fresh and balanced. I am happy with this unexpected find.

Wow, looking back I last opened a bottle in 2012 and reviewing my note indicated it was ok, but not really that good. This bottle showed a lot better and makes me wish I had more. The bottle I opened in 2012 was falling apart, this bottle was not.

très bon vin...nez fin de cassis avec légère note de vanille. Bouche ample et tanin souple mais aromatique de fruits....Pour un top 100 WineSpertator 2011..très bien

Last bottle. Great color, nose and texture.
Still an excellent wine with food.
Surprised it lasted as long as it did
