Medium dark red color, deeply saturated. Spicy oak in the nose, With cow's milk, scorched cherry, black pepper. Low tannin and medium acidity. A little sweet in the mouth but satisfying. Bottle #2 of two.

Pleasant, still has some fruit and complexity left. Not sure this is going to improve though, based on my tasting earlier vintages over the last few months

Hard to believe this wine is 20 years old-- still inky dark, tannic and very full bodied. Lots of pepper, leather, slightly smoky. Probably worth giving some more time to see what develops.

Phenomenal. Still big. Was more similar to a northern Rhone than a PS. Great wine. Lot of life left.

Epic KW Blind Tasting of 16 of the best wines in the world: 5/16. Impressive ranking for this "ringer" wine which has obviously aged well.
