2008. Fabulous! A bit of spice to go with the deep fruit hints. Buy this if you find it. — 7 years ago
This was Decanter's 2013 Wine of the Year. Came across it fairly hidden at a local wine shop in town and got it for $40. Figured why not!
At 16yrs old, the color is still extremely ruby shaded. Don't really see any bricking around the edges. Floral nose of cherries, and a dirty/dusty element to it. Fairly thin at the front of the palate, but it has a nice weight in the middle and the finish is holding strong. Black peppercorn, faint leather taste and a rush of tart cherries. Reminds me of a 5-7yr old Sonoma Pinot. This is still "juicy", which to me is less in your face than "jammy". Fruit is giving way to secondary notes. Not WOTY for me, but for $40, a nice find.
Update: Much better after 45mins as well as at cellar temp. — 9 years ago

The 07 was my favorite, probably because it was the least Bordeauxish Opus I’ve had, not into those Dominus styled wines.Great find at Trader Joe’s! So yummy and wonderful depth of flavor! — 8 years ago

Dark fruit aroma. Easy smooth upfront with a dry middle and a long dry finish. A hint of the peppery sin and a hint of the cab boldness. — 8 years ago

Sweet front but dry on the back end. Great with a few ice cubes to cut the sweetness. — 5 years ago
