Dark purple color but maybe a twinge lighter in color than the Pesenti. Sugar plums, blueberries, and milk chocolate on the nose. Massive tannins and tons of fruit, this wine is packed with flavor. Full-bodied it coats the mouth and the finish is quite long. Amazing wine, this one can stand the test of time, and probably should. Used the Coravin on this for a small taste. Will lay it down in the cellar for a bit along with its twin. — 3 years ago

With the Coravin. Poored 5 hours before dinner. Nice purple red color. Cinnamon nose. Loads of fruit, hints of tar and rosemary. Well balanced in the mouth. Paired very well with the vennison and red wine port sauce. It “competed” against the Chadwick 2007. — 4 years ago
Good but not great. From Coravin - going to give it some time. — 3 years ago
I’ve been savoring this bottle over several months using my Coravin. Sadly, finally finished it off. Just love tasting this golden beauty open up in the glass. Can’t wait to start on another bottle! — 4 years ago
Very disappointed. I had a more mature bottle fail to hold up last week so I had an itch still to scratch and went younger but still ready. Or so I thought - perhaps should have waited another 10 years?Poured out half with a Coravin and it just never got going. Very understated and reserved. Even with a few hours it never opened up. Perhaps it’s bottle variation but I will try again later this week with the second half. — 2 years ago
Faint aromas of leather. Currant and plums. Very ripe tannins. Great wine, too taught for my liking. Probably needed a decant instead of Coravin. Had with Bolognese one night and again with creamy dill orecchiette another. — 3 years ago
