Mind blowing as always. Raspberry, venison, black pepper and cardamom are among the array of intriguing flavors that dance across the tongue like a tightly choreographed ballet.

way past its prime. All the glorious dark fruit and blueberry are all gone leaving behind more tones of olive and leather. It's still ok but not what I expected when we served this for Thanksgiving.

Mellowed to the point of lacking character. The fruit has retreated, the spice isn't really there, no real defining highlights. Disappointing. Glad I didn't pay full price. Well past prime.

Dark purple. Ash and blackberry on the nose. Blackberry, ash, bacon fat, and crushed stones on the palate. A nice wine, but I would have liked it better with more fruit.
