Very subtle for a 20 year old wine. Very nice finish with a slight bite.

Delicious and nice vibrant fruit 10 yrs from vintage. On riper/opulent end of spectrum.

Intense fruit, more savory than sweet. A nice spicey finish. Beautiful.

Letting it open up and I'm not sure it's better than So Serene as I loved that but it's really good. Trying it again and it might be. It's fabulous

Powerful. Inky color showing minimal age. Roasted black plum, minerals and mint. Ripe, sweet tannins. Needs braised lamb shank.

Could age another 30 years, jet black, but not varietal correct. More like a Petite Sirah. I'll take Grange any day
