Delicious fruit forward GIII. Big dark fruits. Sweet tannins. Tannins are well integrated, and drinking well now. Don't wait.

Still holding together quite nicely after 15 years. But then again it should considering it’s pedigree.

Decanted 3 hours. With a medium rare beef tenderloin. Dark purple color. Tons of violet and sweet red fruit perfume and anise - brighter nose than the color. In the mouthful lots of sweet black licorice with red cherry fruit. Long finish with soft tannins. This can age easily another 5-10 and will be interesting to see what secondary flavors come out and how much fruit is retained. Very very CA to me - not a Bordeaux or super Tuscan. Excellent

Massive nose of cherry cobbler and sugar plums, currant, and wood brambles. Palate is polished but still with formidable tannins (decanted over an hour). Cherries, mocha dust, vanilla and light cedar are all present. Finish is soft and goes on and on. Awesomeness. Perfect to brighten a washed out rainy Sunday.
