2006, much better after being open a few hours. Still drinking well but not going to get any better. Drink now.

totally surprised me. 10 yrs old and still packing gobs of fruit. Color was bright purple, hardly faded at edges.

Very, very, young. Needs to be sat on a bit, but it should pay off. Sour cherry, bramble, pomegranate.

This wine finally grew up! Tastes last year and it was youthful and fruit forward. Now, nuance driven, Bordeaux-style aromatics, leaner on the palate and super fancy delicious.

Pop and pour, this is at it's prime. Expressive nose. Knitted together well, no elbows, just smooth with a med long finish.
