What a wonderful wild berry, spice and wild fresh flowers on the nose. Ripe dark cassis, dry cranberries, ripe rhubarb, dry cranberries, cooked strawberries, dusty brown earth, crushed volcanic minerals, cedar, leather, tobacco, spice-box, dry floral bouquet and lean fresh fruit to dry long finish. Consistent throughout. Out of 3L. Wine of the day there.

20 years in, this wine is just hitting its stride. From magnum. Biased review. #josephphelps #insignia

Just stunning! 20 years old, barely tasted older than the 10-year-old 2006 we had with it. Biased review.

Out of magnum - complex and rich. This wine is ageing gracefully.

Amazing balance, soft tannin, burst of black fruit from start to finish. Sweet pipe tobacco note mid palate. Since my in laws were watching the kids, my wife and I decided to indulge.

The 1996 out of Magnum. If you have this vintage do not hesitate to drink it now. Tasting great but is ready to be enjoyed.
