This has greatly improved since my last bottle several years ago. Dark cherry, cedar, florals. Long and delicious finish. Several years ago, a friend told me the best wine with truffles was old Bordeaux. That was news to me as I always chose Barolo or Burgundy. I’m now a convert. — 6 days ago

Delicious dark chocolate, cherry, and bell pepper. Not cloying at all. It has a good amount of acidity to add lift. I don’t see it improving and it is quite good now. — 19 days ago
