Didn’t hold in a cellar that has kept every other Napa and Bordeaux (even past their prime) in perfect condition. Disappointed - tasted of overly oaked vinegar. Oh well!! — 2 months ago

On its way out, but very drinkable and opened up nicely decanted. Fruit on the front, more leather and tobacco notes on the back pallet. Still a great drop and we have nearly a case left, so gotta get to drinking!! — 3 months ago

Still holding up for a wine that Cellar Tracker said was way past its prime! Initially brown legs and very soft, opened after 2 hours of decanting to surprisingly bright cherries and a long dry finish of tobacco and leather notes. Totally still drinkable, but let it open to bloom! — 5 months ago

Still very drinkable, opens a bit musty but decanted soon looses that to bright cherry and fruit with a long lingering mid-pallet and leather, tobacco notes on the finish. Still good - no matter what the drinkability charts may show!! — 2 months ago

Still very drinkable after it’s supposed end date! Great cherry, fruit forward, a bit of smoke in the mob palette (not a usual find in Bordeaux) and long finish with all the regular cigar, leather and aged notes. Very nice - too bad we only had this bottle left!! — 3 months ago

Beautiful Bordeaux that will probably last another 10-15 years, but we won’t know because it’s drank tonight!! Cherry, fruit on the front, lingers to tobacco / leather on the back pallet. Completely quaffable and still has some years left, although not many! Beautiful portrayal of Bordeaux!! — 2 months ago

Amazing Tempranillo!! Worth every dollar - and not many of those to get this gem!! Delicious, tannic, full bodied and full of fruit forward with long finish of Tabasco and leather. — 5 months ago
