side by side tasting with the 2003. 2002 vintage was fantastic. drank with a more complex feel to it, had a great finish and was a great wine with dinner.

The first bottle I had was much better than this one. Overly oaked and toasted caused the fruit to be masked, it took some time after decanting for some delicious fruit to come through. The flavors eventually became complex and interesting but by then we had already finsihed dessert.

A great wine! Friendly and complex. Probably shouldn't have waited 5 years to drink, but was still very nice. Drank with Kyra and Joe over Ethiopian.

There's some moderate tannin and oak, and the flavor is pleasant and medium-bodied. All-purpose meri with tons of different varietals used.
