Had the 09 on 10/18/16... amazing. Tastes like a $400 bottle.

Tons of sweet oak and black fruits. Not very well integrated....not my cup of tea.

My first glass said to me another outstanding bottle of Insignia. After dinner I poured a second glass and POW. It opened up and this is beyond outstanding. The balance, structure, tannins, mouth feel and aroma make this a wine that few will ever experience its greatness. I don’t hand out high scores but I might have underrated this one. I have 10 bottles left and I will cherish them over the next many years! WOW🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷
