Really classic in style. Manages a nice bridge between Old World elegance and New World decadence

Opened tonight to celebrate health and happiness! One of our favorite producers and the second 2000 vintage we have had in the last few months. Just beautiful on all levels from start to finish....black fruit evolves a ross the palate and finishes with great acidity and silky tannins. No color progression evident at all but I say pop ‘em if you have them! Cheers!
