Full body, easy to drink. Light not too heavy. Great with steak

Holy crap. Bold, complex, really good 2008. In a magnum, maybe that helped this wine age so well over the years. Knockout wine.

Had the 2009 on St Pat day at Le Villa. Very well balanced, can hold up to spice (peppercorns) and cut through cream (mushroom ravioli).
