Drank 11/23/27.
After a heavy thanksgiving lunch, this went well with a mushroom ravioli in tomato cream sauce.
As always one of the best values I have found, and sadly the last 2011's I have. Red cherry and leather on the nose. Sweet black cherries, leather, cocoa, and tar on the palate. As always, perfect balance. Medium finish.
3/21/9/5/3 + 50 = 91 pts.

Nov 24th, 2017Again... solid, round. Red fruit with spice. A bit of heat on the finish after 1 hour decant. A really great wine.
