Hedonistic, a little over the top....but a very well made gem. Suggest a minimum 3 hour decant.

Really delicious tonight. A nice mix of leather, black cherry, plum, baking spices, and cedar. No signs of bricking in the color. Still has a nice tannic structure. This could go decades longer.

This was absolutely delicious tonight! Lovely fruit along with some excellent secondary characteristics like tobacco and leather as well. Everything is in perfect balance. Just a beautiful wine that still shows quite youthful and has many more good years to go.

This was stink inky purple after 16 years. Also decanted for 2 hours. What a wine with a little graphite and smoke mixed with berries. Long finish and well balanced and gave the realm a run for its money. I prefer older wines so I lean towards this wine

Just delicious. This seems like it is at a peak drinking window to me.
