Pretty aromas of plums, berries and cherries follow through to a full-bodied palate, with a lovely balance of ripe fruit and refined tannins. Long and caressing finish... Wine Spectator

Quick decant and this shows right out of the gate. Earthy nose of roasted herbs, smoke and crimini mushroom. Tannins still ripe and lengthy finish. Really wonderful.

Good intensity and plenty going on. Slightly peppery and very dry in style with only a hint of blackberry. A decent showing.

Surprisingly still a lot of tannin and fruit for a 25 year old wine. Raisin on the nose. Drinks lighter body than expected

Red fruit and persistent, yet roud tannins. Amazing with aged cheese

Took about 45 min for this to really come into its own. Seductive nose...the acidity toned down and the dark berry fruits really shone through. Finish is clean and the tannins are soft yet hold on throughout.
