Real solid offering in a lousy vintage. Great price, and surprisingly not thin, or over manipulated. Red currant, black plum and even a sugary cran note.

Fruit and mahogany prunes - lasting fruit notes on palate. Should be drinking this 15 year old every day..but more opening might benefit.

Great aftertaste. A little wet, but not annoyingly.

Interesting, strong tannins even though it's from the right bank, fairly dry. Plum, strawberry, and cherry on the nose. Fruity and full body, I like this. Well balanced.

Steak and a salad with blue cheese crumbles and French dressing. Nice wine pairing.

No Italian, this worked with polenta and a mushroom ragu.

Little acidic, yet still smooth and fruity.
