At 23 years of age And 22 years on the lees, this wine has loads of toasty autolytic flavors combined with lemon drop, dried orange rind, dried raspberry, baked apple, toast, pastry, honey, hazelnut and acacia. Soft but persistent mousse and an extremely long finish. — 8 months ago

Who wants a pour? This is my perfect everyday sipper. It's getting easier to find at retail, so let's drink up!

Christmas dinner accompaniment, one of the finest reds we have had all year. Full, rich, balanced and nice tannins. Can't wait for the next one. — 9 months ago

2 hour decant(little fine sediment). A striking dark purplish magenta color. On the nose: very aeromatic notes with perfumed dark berries, forest floor, spearment, smoked meat, truffles. Taste: silky, layered, plush wine with dark plum/cherry, milk chocolate, smokey cedar, earth, and a peppery graphite medium plus dry finish. YUM! Drinks well with the decant and time to go. — a month ago

Almost identical to my previous note but more refined and bolder. I was probably too tough before as this rocks! — 2 months ago
