Blurry camera, but the contents couldn't be clearer. I would drink this over just about any Merlot on any given day. 1998 Vintage

I'm tearing up... So complex, herb notes, Bordeaux character but still everything that is this estate.

With a four hour decant the wine was simply amazing. Extremely well balanced, silky but unctous, notes of leather, olives, black and blue fruits with an insanely long finish and still able to coat the mouth with an overwhelming light film this one was for the ages. The wine itself is likely to be good for decades and while young should still be tasted!

With three hours in the decanter ( it needs four) the wine is huge, aromas of plums and prunes, brilliantly balanced with a long finish. If a criticism is to be offered there could be more complexity
