This will only get better with age and it’s already terrific. The biggest takeaway for me was the lingering taste of hot chocolate mix; subtle but undeniable. The bouquet is stuffed with cedar shavings, the dark fruit is strong but not obnoxious and the tannins coat the tongue, rather than attack it. — 6 years ago
Not usually a white fan, but love this. Very drinkable, not too sweet, very nice chilled. Not gonna lie, drank a whole bottle in a sitting. — 8 years ago

Only a few sips left. Pairs well with air and probably fatty foods but I only bought one bottle so just enjoying. so glad I don’t have to share. — 5 years ago
I think all wine drinkers love opening an old bottle and having it taste amazing. Wine is a story, and there is not a better tale than when you articulate how you bought a bottle, aged it, and then opened it to find out it was still better than the majority of wines out there. This bottle was a bear to open as I couldn't get the cork out or push the cork in, that's a story in itself. A great nose that tells you it was and still is high quality. Great smoke, tons of herbs, and even some vegetables on the palate. Very refined and still kickin 20+yrs later! A great story with a great finish :). Thanks Ted & Jim! — 7 years ago
