First taste: Dense blackberry-plum, charcoal and tobacco, with well-balanced tannins and acidity. Beautiful floral finish. Approximately 90 minutes later: charcoal more suble, with a splendidly elegant blend of fruit, tobacco, flowers, and an appreciable mineral finish. Lovely with rack of lamb. If you find this bottle, buy it and drink it now! — 9 years ago

Pomegranate bouquet. On the palate, an elegant blend of dark fruit, cigar, licorice, and Himalayan spices. Balanced tannins and acidity. Good compliment with rack of lamb. Likely near its prime; may have 3-5 yrs depending on how it has been stored. — 10 years ago
Deep and inky. Great combination of body and elegance. Made fast friends with roasted rack of lamb. — 11 years ago
