2003 vintage tasted in Aug 2023. This wine was so incredibly enjoyable. Fruit still so ripe - black, red, and blue. Incredible soft dusty tannins have a great mouthfeel. Graphite, lead shaving, crushed rock. So we’ll integrated. Finish of 45s+. Loved it! — 8 months ago

Showing nice balance and a great mouthfeel. Round and rich. Elegant and smooth.
This 22 year old still has a lot of power in it, and will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 10 years.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 2 hours of airtime.
So soft and powerful, with a great nose. This is a gorgeous wine right now.
