Extremely surprised how this wine has held up. Delicious soft tannins and juicy fruits still prevail. I wouldn't hold on to this too long, it's right there

The final bottle. Drank beautifully, but I do not htink this one is getting any better and probably has slightly declined from the last one I opened. Drink up!

This is achieving good balance right now. Nose tends towards the sweet side, but still shows spice and wood notes. On the palate this is more sedate, but the elements integrate smoothly. The structure has mellowed but not dissipated completely. At ten years old this is probably the best this will get, but commendations are due for a solidly made, pleasant wine.

We enjoyed this very much. The nose smelled like rose. Good tanins. Leathery with subtle fruit flavor.

This one is drinking absolutely beautifully now. Silky, elegant, balanced. Thankfully I have another bottle...
