My goodness! Captivating elegance with presence. Hint of cranberry, cherry, incredibly floral with an alluring undercurrent of earth. Grippy tannin and firm acidity but both are woven into the wine with grace. Such a great wine.

A beautiful wine that hits all my sweet spots. Very lively and youthful for a 17 year old wine. Dark cherry, exotic spices, tobacco, tar. Words really can’t begin to describe it. I believe this is a 40-50 year wine. WOW
