Perfect wine to celebrate the wife’s birthday this last week. Medium garnet red and clear in appearance. Well rounded nose with truffles, damp earthiness, cherries and some black berries. Medium tannins (5.5/10), balanced acidity and medium plus body. Balanced palate with tobacco, leather, earthiness, black plums and cherries. Long finish. Drink till 2027.

Very happy with this wine rich blue fruits, coffee, chocolate some dark soil, and still a slight green character drinking amazingly.

Still solid- tart cranberry, black olive, cedar, grippy tannins that can continue to mellow for some time- feel like it could go another 10 years

Man, for being 15 years old, this was still a beast of a wine. Big, bold, structured, but still had nice acidity. Didn't notice the alcohol, just assumed it would be high given its big, bold nature, but surprised it's at only 13.5%! Lovely wine.
