A triumph... After all these decades the elegance is like a lullaby and the gentle touch of an angel from burgundy.... Cheers to those who thrive the test of time — 10 years ago
Spicy with hints of cedar and red meat. Fruit coming through on the back end. Legit breathe 30 mins. It should continue to thrive for another 2-3 years. Very good wine! — 8 years ago
