No paring required. So refreshing to enjoy a bottle purely for taste. Soft nose and smooth fruit from front to back. Wonderful.

Amazing as usual. Kind of sad that this is my last bottle of it. Dust, and chocolate on the nose when you first open it. Dark fruits and TANNIN(!) in the mouth. Opens up to a beautiful beast... Lots of complexity, so much of everything going on. And still showing so young.

Big ripe sweet fruit. Probably past its prime. In it's day I enjoyed it. Must have been on my shelf too long.

Really good for a Temecula Bordeaux blend. Lot of red fruit and nicely balanced tannin.
